The Drama Group Presents UNDER THE SKIN

The Drama Group will be presenting popular local playwright Michael Hollinger's "Under the Skin" directed by Colleen Bracken.

Lou needs a healthy kidney, and he's out of options for a donor match. His adult daughter Raina is his best shot, but... it's complicated. As Raina grapples with her decision to donate or not, new and old lovers show up, old secrets are brought to light, and new possibilities emerge. Time jumps backward, forward and sideways as this contemporary "dramedy" explores the meaning of family, the fallibility of our memories, and the connection we all share.

The cast of "Under the Skin" includes Charvez Grant, Melody Jai, Ed Marcinkiewicz, and Jennifer Shorstein.

Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings, November 9 to 24, at 8:00, in Pilling Hall at The First United Methodist Church of Germantown, 6001 Germantown Avenue, between High Street and Walnut Lane.

Tickets for "Under the Skin" are $15.00 ($10.00 for students with ID and Drama Group Members) and can be purchased at the door (cash or check only, no credit cards). On opening night, Friday, November 9, every ticket purchased will admit two people. There will be a post-show discussion with cast and director following the performance on Saturday, November 17.

The Drama Group has been presenting theatre in the Germantown community of Northwest Philadelphia since 1980. For more information about "Under the Skin" and The Drama Group, go to www.thedramagroup.org or "like" The Drama Group on Facebook.
