Coyote Rep Theatre Company Presents World Premiere of THE NEW NORMAL, 10/13-10/23
Coyote REP Theatre Company presents the world premiere of The New Normal by Donnetta Lavinia Grays (Broadway's Well and In the Next Room or The Vibrator Play) and directed by Isaac Byrne (NYIT Award Winning Director), and staring Nell Mooney* (As The World Turns), Andrea Caban* (NYIT Award Winning Solo Artist), Emily Rossell* (The Civilians - Let Me Ascertain You) and Michael Mason Working Man's Clothes - New York is Dead). The New Normal is a groundbreaking original full-length play inspired by the life of 2009 Puget Sound Survivor of the Year, Anna Warren Schumacher. It is a hard hitting play that tells the unique story of how a young woman finds humor and grace in the unexpected challenges of survival.
The New Normal, developed by Coyote REP and penned by Ms. Grays, is about a 30-something funny and frank southern warrior, Anna (played by Mooney) living and thriving in Seattle with her rocker husband and 3 year old kid. As a mom, a wife and a survivor she's handled more than her fair share of drama, but nothing could have prepared her for this.
