David Caudle's THE COMMON SWALLOW Plays Town Hall

P+H Productions in association with Provincetown Counter Productions will present the World Premiere production of David Caudle's The Common Swallow in Provincetown this September in the newly restored Town Hall. Previews for the show, which is aiming for Broadway, begin September 28 with an official press opening to be announced. Performances will continue for two weeks. PCP Artistic Director, Susan Grilli, will direct a cast that will include Glynis Bell, Sean Maddox, Angela C. Howell and Ethan Paulini. Tickets will go on sale in August. Full cast and creative team will be announced shortly.

In The Common Swallow, a big city businesswoman returns to her childhood home in America's heartland. In her attempts to solve her family's issues she discovers that you can never fully come back to the past. The disintegrating fabric of family and community root this Midwestern dramatic comedy that reminds us what is most important.

Provincetown will mark the next step, and first official full production, on a journey that will see The Common Swallow open in a commercial New York City run in 2012. The Common Swallow has previously been developed in the Dorothy Strelsin New American Writers Group at Primary Stages and workshopped as part of the HOWL! Festival at 45 Bleecker Street Theatre. It also received a workshop reading in February of 2011 at Cape Rep Theatre as part of the Winter Series. Details of the New York run will be announced at a later date.
