Permafrost Theatre Collective Presents THE ICEBREAKER SERIES
The Collective presents a full-length reading of... "DON'T LAUGH. IT'S FUNNY." By NATHANIEL FOSTER.
Permafrost Theatre Collective Presents, The Icebreaker Series; an event dedicated to presenting new works in a relaxed and welcoming environment. The Collective will present works that span the far reaches of storytelling through theatre and music (sometimes both) while commenting on the human experience.
The Collective would like you to join for a full-length reading of...
"DON'T LAUGH. IT'S FUNNY." By NATHANIEL FOSTER
Directed by Christopher Randolph
Cast: Nathaniel Foster and Ernest (E.B.) Hinnant
Stage Directions: Lily Mannon
Synopsis:
Tom just threw himself off a bridge. He's going to die. As he falls Tom reflects on the last relationship he had, what he thinks he'll leave behind, and challenges what many think it means to live with a mental illness. It's funnier than it sounds.
