Pandora Productions Continues 17-18 Season With HARBOR and THE BUS STOP AT SYCAMORE AND VINE!

Pandora Productions continues her family themed Season with Harbor. Alternately biting and touching, this comedy is about the constantly shifting nature of what it means to be a family.

In Harbor, Ted and Kevin, are a newly-wed, newly hyphenated couple whose seemingly idyllic life in an affluent subset of the Hamptons is disrupted when Kevin's estranged, ne'er-do-well sister Donna and 15-year-old niece Lottie who make their home in a van, arrive unannounced on the doorstep of Ted and Kevin's Sag Harbor home all hell breaks loose. The bonds between kith and kin are strained and Kevin and Ted's already uneven relationship is tested when the cash-strapped Donna reveals she is pregnant with her second baby and begins pressuring the couple into raising the child themselves.

Tucked nicely in the middle of the run of Harbor, Pandora will present her second PlayDate with Pandora, which features staged readings from local and regional playwrights, this time with Eli Keel and Tyler Curth's The Bus Stop at Sycamore and Vine.

Everyone goes to the bus stop at Sycamore and Vine. They go to hang out, but most kids would never dream of actually catching that bus down-town. But Taylor is different. He's a dreamer, un- interested in sports, or girls; a fact that his older brother Trent has tried to change for years, de-fending Taylor from rumors and bullies. When Taylor can no longer ignore his own feelings he has to decide if he can pretend to be the brother that Trent wants, and Trent has to decide if he can love the brother he has, or become one of the bullies

Harbor stars: Lauren Argo as the ne'er do well sister Donna, Jacob Cooper as her long-suffering brother Kevin, Brooklyn Durs as the 'van schooled' daughter Lottie and David Galloway as the confused husband to Kevin.

The production will run January 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 at 7:30 p.; January 14 at 5:30 p with the only matinee set for January 21 at 2:00 p. at Pandora's home theatre in the Henry Clay building located at 604 South Third Street, 3rd Floor, Downtown Louisville.
