Today’s subjects Danielle A. Drakes and Kelsey Mesa are currently living their theatre lives as the director and playwright respectively of Taffety Punk Theatre Company’s World Premiere production of La Salpêtrière. The show runs through October fourteenth at the company’s artistic home Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (CHAW).
In a stunning US premiere, Stephen Laughton’s beautifully moving 'One Jewish Boy' tells the heartbreaking story of a couple’s relationship, and examines the impact of trauma and the different ways we process it.
1st Stage has announced that How the Light Gets In, written by E.M. Lewis and directed by Alex Levy has been extended through March 26.
A humane, engaging look at how shared trauma can lead to meaningful connection. How often does a play draw you in before it even begins? The set for 1st Stage's production of E.M. Lewis' 'How the Light Gets In,' designed by Kathryn Kawecki, is one of the most creative and innovative I have ever seen at a regional theater. The black box is transformed into the Japanese garden that serves as the epicenter of the play's action, complete with a wooden bridge, realistic floral displays, and a pond. The set is well-complemented by Helen Garcia-Alton's lighting and sound designer Gordon Nimmo-Smith's ambient noise.
1st Stage has released production photos for How the Light Gets In, written by E.M. Lewis and directed by Alex Levy, running through March 19, 2023. Check out the photos here!
