Booze, adultery, self-loathing and art. Where do you go but down after you sell a million copies of your autobiography and go on Oprah? In Pas-sage, a companion piece to Us vs. Them, we find ourselves dropping in with Howard, a failed writer, and Miranda, a has-been who has crawled inside the bottle to hide. We learn that affairs are not all they are cracked up to be and broken noses can seriously impair a person's sex life. Can they put aside their fears and views as artists to have a shot at happiness? Director Michelle Seaton holds an MFA in Directing from the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University and a BA in Theatre from Linfield College. She is a graduate of the Portland Actor's Conservatory in Portland, OR, where she was also a member of the Stark Raving Theatre company, dedicated to premiering new works.
