Amelia Kennedy's I KEEP LEAVING PARTIES EARLY Will Come to Off Off Broadway Festival
The performance will take place at the 50th Annual Concord Theatricals Off Off Broadway Festival.
HARP Theatricals will present the original short play I Keep Leaving Parties Early by Amelia Kennedy, directed by Heather Bildman, as an official selection of the 50th Annual Concord Theatricals Off Off Broadway Festival (OOB Festival) - one of the nation's leading short play showcases. The performance will take place Tuesday, July 29 at 8PM at the Lynn F. Angelson Theater.
Fresh from a sold out performance at the Tank earlier this March, I Keep Leaving Parties Early explores the quiet ache of longing, self-discovery, and emotional disconnection. Livia is exhausted by the constant contradictions of online dating and wonders if true connection is even possible. Cass finds herself stumbling through the messy beginnings of discovering her sexual identity. Faye, once full of artistic fire, reflects on how adulthood has dulled even the brightest gatherings. In a candid and poetic unfolding, these women reveal that no matter your age, you're always discovering who you are - often when you least expect it.
The cast features Jules Coffey as CASS, Vivian Belosky as LIVIA, and Michele Markarian as FAYE.
As part of the festival, a panel of industry judges will select standout works from the first round to advance to the next stage - with the potential for further development and the opportunity for winning plays to be published in a prestigious anthology.
Tickets are now available. You can purchase a Single-Session Ticket for $20 in advance or $25 at the door. You also have the option to purchase a $90 Festival Pass, which allows you to attend all 10 sessions of the festival for the price of 5.
