Playwright & Filmmaker, Nicholas Kennedy Explores A Series Of Deeply Moving Topics In His Latest Stage Work, EGG FRAME

Broken Families and broken minds are explored in the World Premiere of Nick Kennedy's Egg Frame at the American Theatre of Actors limited engagement, September 1 - 10.

Egg Frame, a surreal dramedy, concerns Allen, a locksmith who seemingly can't fix a mysterious broken door. What he also can't fix is his wife, Dolores – who suffers from early onset dementia aided only by his soon-to-be-son-in-law, Jack, while his daughter, Janey, serves in Afghanistan.  

Told in fragments – not unlike a broken record or damaged mind – Egg Frame explores the intricacies of a fractured family using the perspectives of a struggling father and the declining mind of a suffering mother. Josh Koehn portrays the tribulation-ridden Allen in a cast that includes Dayna Michelle Kurtz, Sara McAuliffe, Jim Grant, Brian Mendoza, Gillian Britt, Madelyn Stewich, Brendan Roque, and Abhishek Ojha.  Nicholas Kennedy directs with his visionary partner, Lauren McAuliffe. The play is written by Kennedy and Jim Grant.
