EDITH CAN SHOOT THINGS AND HIT THEM Starts Crowded Fire's 2015 Season Tonight
The Crowded Fire Theater (CFT) 2015 season begins with the youthful, heartfelt play by A. Rey Pamatmat, Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them opening on March 2, running through March 21 at the Thick House in San Francisco's Potrero Hill.
In Edith... three kids, Kenny, his sister Edith, and their friend Benji, are all but abandoned on a farm in remotest Middle America. With little adult supervision, they feed and care for each other, making up the rules as they go. But when Kenny's and Benji's relationship becomes more than friendship, and Edith shoots something she really shouldn't shoot, the formerly indifferent outside world comes barging in whether they want it to or not. Full of humor, this sweet coming of age story celebrates the love that binds a family...even if it is a family you create on your own. Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Themby A. Rey Pamatmat is directed by Desdemona Chiang, with a cast that features Nicole Javier (Edith), Wes Gabrillo (Kenny), and Maro Guevara (Benji).
"It's rare to see such a delicious, fierce central female role of a young girl, age 12, who faces the world with such hunger and tenacity..." remarks departing Artistic Director Marissa Wolf, "this is a play that makes me laugh, cry, and gasp as the lives of these three young people unfold before us. Pamatmat's rendering of such layered and full characters allows this play to sing with hope and beauty in an otherwise ugly world."
