'A Nervous Smile' - At Coral Gables' New Theatre
By: Beau Higgins Feb. 07, 2008
A NERVOUS SMILE ON STAGE AT NEW THEATRE
Strained to the breaking point by caring for their severely disabled daughter, Emily, a wealthy New York couple, weigh their own happiness against that of their child-with shocking consequences. Emily's lyrical poetry, the bitter volleys of the couple's disintegrating marriage, and the appraisals of the outside world frame the narrative of this insightful play. Commissioned by the Actors Theatre of Louisville, and premiered at the Humana Festival of New American Plays, A Nervous Smile is a brutal portrait of love, lust and despair set against writer John Belluso's fiery brand of social satire.
New Theatre Artistic Director, Ricky J. Martinez will direct the cast which includes New Theatre veterans Clint Hooper, Harriet Oser, Annemaria Rajala and Barbara Sloan.
Returning to New Theatre will be Production Stage Manager Betsy Paull-Rick, Sound Designer Ozzie Quintana, Costume Designer K. Blair Brown, Scenic Designer Michael McKeever and the scenic construction crew, TLC Events Group. Lighting Designer Sevim Abaza will be making her New Theatre debut.
