Second Thought Theatre Continues 10th Season with NOCTURNE, 4/2-26

"Adam Rapp's mastery of language is well-known. What excites me about this particular play is its unapologetically straightforward storytelling," says Parham. "His writing is economical yet rhythmic, and he has crafted this tragic, beautiful play in which a man finally expels his grief after fifteen years of silence. Witnessing such bravery on stage is astonishing.

Fifteen years ago, a seventeen-year-old-boy and his younger sister were in a terrible car accident; the result was devastating. Nocturne gives voice to the boy, now thirty-two years old, as he navigates his way through the accident, the aftermath, its effect on his family, and his escape to New York City. DTC Associate Artist Drew Wall stars as the former piano prodigy. Wall is joined on stage by Tara Magill, the haunting image of his younger sister.

Fresh off of their critically acclaimed production of On the Eve at Theatre Three, Home By Hovercraft's Seth and Shawn Magill will be making their STT debuts with Nocturne - Seth as the associate set designer and Shawn as the composer and sound designer. Aaron Johansen returns as lighting designer, and props are designed by Samantha Rios.

"The poetry of this work is a composer's dream," said sound designer Shawn Magill. "I was thrilled when Second Thought asked me to create the soundscape and compose original music to accompany this haunting journey."
