"Still Life" is the story of photographer Carrie Ann (Liz Peterson), whose creative ability inexplicably shuts down at the pinnacle of her career. Lost, and afraid to pick up a camera, her sudden descent is interrupted by a whirlwind romance with Jeff (Gabe Thompson), a trend analyst who becomes determined to help her move on, even while facing his own uncertain future. The Playhouse cast also features Eric Lee, Anita Holland, Sherryl Viars, Rusk Dorsett, Britt Slater, and Jerry Eisenhour.The Playhouse will be presenting the first production of the show in the United States outside the New York area. John Viars, Playhouse executive director and the director of "Still Life," saw the show in October 2010. "I was moved by the depth of emotion, contemporary feel, and fascinating characters," said Viars.Critics called "Still Life" "the best new American play since 'Proof'" (Bloomberg News) and "an absorbing and moving look at living fully" (Curtain Up). The New York Times said "'Still Life' is rather like its characters, camouflaging and betraying its essential seriousness with flippancy, and that tension holds your interest.""Still Life" Performances: Jan 28-Feb. 13, 2011
