Photos: IN SEARCH OF ELAINA At Off-Broadway's Players Theatre

Drift In Act Out is presenting the World Premiere of IN SEARCH OF ELAINA, new play by Kara Ayn Napolitano about facing old demons and embracing new beginnings. Directed by Joy Donze, performances began September 5 at The Steve & Marie Sgouros Theatre at The Players Theatre. See photos below! 

IN SEARCH OF ELAINA opens on Annette, living comfortably in her city life. When she learns that an old, dear friend has passed away, someone from the youth she worked hard to leave behind, a haunting regret is reignited. This drives Annette to travel home and face what she has worked so hard to bury. Past and present collide as Annette is pulled apart by who she is trying to be and who she undeniably once was. Friends and family reunite, reliving old times, traversing grief, and somehow finding their way forward.
