New Feathers Productions Announces Finale With The Premiere Of BEYOND  Image

New Feathers Productions announces their much-anticipated full-length production for Sunday, March 27th at 4pm (rescheduled from the original date of 1/30/22) by Playwright Dave Droxler.

This uniquely mystical yet relatable premiere of Beyond at the Zlock Performing Arts Center in Newtown, PA is co-directed by Dave Droxler with his wife and collaborator Chelsey Shannon. Beyond is a limited, one-night-only theatrical engagement. The cast will feature Equity performers including, Sherry Anderson, Fredi Bernstein, Meghan Malloy, And Hayden Saunier.

Beyond will be produced in the live theatrical reading format by New Feathers Productions (NFP). Beyond tells the story of Marie, an elderly woman who befriends a mysterious Creature that suddenly arrives at her home. The Creature slowly brings forth lost memories of Marie's relationship with her daughter. However, what she learns through these memories reveals a more profound truth. This story, told in nonlinear time, explores a mother/daughter relationship and the many facets of how one's reality can be perceived... and what may actually lie Beyond.

When asking Chelsey Shannon about working with her husband Dave Droxler, she states: "Dave and I have been collaborating and inspiring each other for almost 20 years in our arts career (and personal life). But when we began working together in a more formal artistic partnership, I knew it was just the beginning. Dave is the best kind of creator - brilliant, confident, and dedicated, while also possessing an open spirit to mold a piece of theater in a way that serves the show and an audience above all. Working with him on a project is so EASY. It's also lots and lots of laughs. He will always be the first person I want to work with and the last person I say goodnight to."

Beyond is the finale part of an exclusive, new works theatrical monthly series at the Zlock Performing Arts Center in Newtown, PA. Producer John Augustine states: "Dave Droxler is a bright, dynamic voice. Whether he is writing with his comedic style or his more serious voice, he always has an offbeat view of the world that asks us to question our reality. He dares us to see ourselves and consider how we see others. His work is always thoughtful, full of heart...and always a good time. Dave Droxler's work makes us feel a little less alone in the world."

NFP strives to take playwrights, performers, and audience members alike through the latest theatrical work development process, thinking, style, and approach. NFP provides a safe forum for playwrights to have their work publicly seen, heard, and responded to by supportive, early-adopting audiences to prepare such new theatrical work for larger audiences and opportunities.
