Eric Coble's THE AUDACITY OF AUTUMN Plays Boise Contemporary Theater, 4/6-4/30
By: James Miller Mar. 11, 2011
Renowned playwright Eric Coble will premiere his new play, The Velocity of Autumn, at the Boise Contemporary Theater. The production will run from April 6 to April 30, with opening night on April 9 and post-show discussions on April 15 and April 23.
Coble brings a lifetime rich with storytelling to his work. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and raised on the Navajo and Ute reservations of New Mexico and Colorado. In this, his sixtieth play, you'll meet Lillian, a painter with a wicked sense of humor who is determined to spend her final years in the Brooklyn brownstone she calls home, despite her children's best efforts to get her to move into an "A-One nursing home." With the pressure mounting she lays down one final ultimatum: let her be or she'll blow the place sky-high. Lillian's story is vivid with brilliant imagery, big laughs and a touching relationship that you won't soon forget.
Purchase tickets by visiting the box office, by calling (208) 331-9224 or by visiting www.bctheater.org. Boise Contemporary Theater is located at 854 Fulton St. Visit www.bctheater.org to learn more about Boise Contemporary Theater.
