Theatre Three to Stage World Premiere of Bruce R. Coleman's DAY LIGHT

By:
Theatre Three will present the World Premiere of the Texas drama DAY LIGHT by Theatre Three Acting Artistic Director Bruce R. Coleman, November 17-December 11, 2016.

Junction Pass, Texas, 1867. As a massive blizzard bears down on the Poteet Family ranch, dark secrets, hidden desires and unbridled emotion boil to the surface, threatening to tear the family apart. Day Light challenges our ideas of how we get to happiness and how we become the people we were meant to be.

"I have always been interested in what makes us happy as individuals inside a familial construct," says playwright and director Bruce R. Coleman. "Day Light explores each characters journey toward happiness and the unexpected places happiness might come from."

Day Light was the Grand Prize Winner at the ninth annual Southwest Playwriting Competition at Stage West in Fort WortH. Coleman has written several plays that have appeared on local stages, including works at Uptown Players, Upstart Productions, Kitchen Dog Theatre and two prior productions at Theatre Three.

Day Light is directed and written by Theatre Three Acting Artistic Director Bruce R. Coleman and stars Cindee Mayfield (Ada), Blake Blair (Caleb), Abigail Palmgren (Kate), Connie Coit (Minnie), Matthew Holmes (Natty), Max Swarner (Micah), Sterling Gafford (Harris Latimer), as well as Greg Jackson and Sky Williams as a pair of Strangers.
