World Premiere of NIGHTSWEAT Comes to FreeFall Theatre This October

freeFall Theatre continues its commitment to presenting new works with the upcoming world premiere production of Nightsweat written by Natalie Symons and based on an original idea by Matthew McGee. freeFall Artistic Director Eric Davis directs this all-new comedy that can only be described as Bridesmaids meets John Carpenter's Halloween. 

Broadway veterans Kristin Carbone (Mary Poppins) and Jan Neuberger (Wicked) lead an all-star cast featuring beloved Tampa Bay comedienne Sara DelBeato (Phyllis Schatz in The Night Before) with freeFall favorites Hillary Scales-Lewis and Heather Baird. Joe Ditmeyer (As TheWorld Turns, Law & Order SVU, national tour of Shear Madness) makes his freeFall debut after a smash hit run of Shear Madness at Florida Studio Theatre. 

When a recently canceled celebrity housewife and her entourage try to escape the media at an AirBnB in The Berkshires, things go terribly and hilariously wrong as the ladies find themselves in the middle of a manhunt for the Berkshire Strangler. The Hollywood elites find themselves triggered by mistaken identities, bad cell service, a set of twins, power outages, a missing alternator, and a mysterious landlady in this hilarious thriller from the writer that brought you The Buffalo Kings, The People Downstairs, Lark Eden, Naming True and the award-winning novel, Lies in Bone.

Playwright Natalie Symons says “Nightsweat is what happens when 4 women escape the stress of city life at McCurdy's Haunted Airbnb in a quaint New England town. Their boozy weekend is interrupted by a series of wild events. It's suspenseful, surprising and wonderfully funny.”

Natalie Symons is an award-winning playwright and best-selling novelist. Her plays have been developed and produced at theaters across the county, including American Stage, freeFall Theatre, ACT Theatre, Theatre22, Urbanite Theatre, Aurora Theatre, Theater Schmeater, Florida Studio Theatre, Bridge Street Theatre, Amas Musical Theatre, Arts Garage, and Key City Public Theatre.

In September 2021 her debut novel Lies in Bone was released by Boyle & Dalton and earned her The Royal Dragonfly Literary Award, and the 2021 Best Book Award from American Book Fest. Lies in Bone is also the recipient of The Eric Hoffer Literary Award, The NIEA Award and was the Chanticleer International Book Awards' Somerset 2021 Grand Prize Winner in Literary and Contemporary fiction. In May of 2022, Lies in Bone became #1 on Audible across all categories and an international best-seller on Amazon.
