Hudson Warehouse returns to its winter home for its second season as the Resident Theater Company of Goddard Riverside's Bernie Wohl Center with their first contemporary play.
After its 11th Summer Season in Riverside Park Hudson Warehouse, known as "The Other Free Shakespeare in the Park," is kicking off its second season indoors as the Resident Theater Company of the Bernie Wohl Center with a reading of The Last Disciple of Abraham by Paul Dervis.
Amy Herzog's Pulitzer-Prize nominated 4,000 Miles explores a most difficult relationship between a grandmother of 90 and her grandson some seventy years her junior. That gap in age is very wide like the distance of 4,000 miles from Seattle, Washington to New York City which Leo (Christian Prentice) covers by bicycle. Long journeys of any type involve struggles as well as rewards, and the play is a sweet optimistic look at how two very different people can change each other for the better. Now in its LA premiere 4,000 Miles is onstage at the Sierra Madre Playhouse in an endearing and richly detailed production directed lovingly by Christian Lebano and featuring a dynamite cast of four actors.
New artistic director of Sierra Madre Playhouse Christian Lebano is busy as director rehearsing 4000 Miles for its opening at Sierra Madre Playhouse September 26. Lebano talks about this play, this season at Sierra Madre and his role as artistic director, including his plans for the playhouse.
