THIS RANDOM WORLD to Play North Coast Rep

Through a swirl of nearly missed connections, THIS RANDOM WORLD follows a series of intersecting lives: A mother determined to maintain her independence, a daughter longing for adventure, two sisters seeking common ground, and an internet prank gone awry. Warmly humorous and lyrically bittersweet, this play by Steven Dietz investigates what it is to love, to lose, and be touched by the serendipity of life. It's an evening of theatre that is certain to provoke sweet memories and perhaps some unrecognized yearnings.

David Ellenstein directs Anne Gee Byrd,* Kevin Hapso Koppman,* Lisel Gorell-Getz,* Yolanda Franklin,* Ava Hill, Diana Irvine, Patrick Zeller,* and Joe Paulson. The design team includes Marty Burnett (Scenic Design), Matthew Novotny (Lighting Design), Melanie Chen Cole (Sound), Elisa Benzoni (Costumes), and Holly Gillard (Prop Design).
