Dreamcatcher to Stage Sharr White's THE OTHER PLACE, 10/3-20
Dreamcatcher Repertory Theatre, professional Theatre in Residence at the Oakes Center in Summit, is presenting the New Jersey premiere of Sharr White's The Other Place. This haunting drama appeared on Broadway last season, and earned Laurie Metcalf a Tony nominee for Best Actress. The Other Place plays October 3 through 20, with talkbacks following the October 6 and 13 matinees.
This psychologically complex play begins just as Juliana Smithton's research leads to a potential breakthrough, and her life takes a disorienting turn. Through a series of tautly-written scenes with her husband, her doctor, her daughter and her former colleague, layers of yearning, regret and mourning are stripped away to reveal Juliana's true heart and mind. As Juliana traces her memories and relationships back in time, mysteries pile up until the truth is revealed one devastating night.
White, whose newest play The Snow Geese will debut on Broadway this fall, is an award-winning writer whose plays have been produced across the country and in Europe. The play will be directed by Clark Carmichael (Montclair), and will feature Harry Patrick Christian (Montclair), Dave Maulbeck (Summit), Jessica O'Hara-Baker (New York City) and Harriett Trangucci (Summit). The director and cast are all members of Dreamcatcher's professional Resident Acting Company.
The Other Place will run at Dreamcatcher from Thursday, October 3 through Sunday, October 20. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m., and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $30 for adults and $25 for seniors and students, with special rates for subscribers and groups. Purchase tickets online at www.dreamcatcherrep.org or by calling Brown Paper Tickets at 1-800-838-3006. Seniors pay only $15 on advance purchases only on Senior Sunday, the October 6 matinee.
