With the strains of 'Auld Lang Syne' mere moments away, minds are apt to be caught up in reflection, remembering the year now ending as a new one awaits just over the horizon. Certainly that's what I've been doing lately, looking back over the past year in Nashville theatre as I pencil in dates in my new 2010 (Here's a question to ponder: Is it 'two thousand ten' or 'twenty ten'...think about it and get back to me) calendar for the shows set to open in the months ahead.
With consistently superb casting and amazingly focused direction, Avery Crozier's Eat The Runt is given its due in the play's Nashville premiere by GroundWorks Theatre. Now onstage through October 24 at the Darkhorse Theatre, the comedy is a smartly written treatise on the arts, workplace manipulation, 'human resources' and political correctness-heady subjects all that combine for one of the funniest plays of contemporary vintage that we've seen.
A. Sean O'Connell will direct the Middle Tennessee premiere of Avery Crozier's Eat the Runt, opening Friday, October 16 at Darkhorse Theatre, 4610 Charlotte Avenue in Nashville. The contemporary comedy will continue at Darkhorse through October 24. In the play, 'Crozier toys with ideas of perception, political correctness and societal and cultural norms as we follow a job applicant through an art museum interview process,' O'Connell said.
