freeFall to Open 2016 Season with Thornton Wilder's OUR TOWN
By: Tyler Peterson Jan. 04, 2016
St. Petersburg's own Bob Devin Jones will play the Stage Manager; he will be reunited with director Eric Davis, who started freeFall Theatre Company at Jones' performance space/gallery Studio @ 620 with the smash hit THE WILD PARTY in 2008.
"We feel Bob is an excellent fit for The Stage Manager in our production of OUR TOWN", says Outreach Director Matthew McGee. "His deep connection to the Tampa Bay arts community and his keen ability as an actor and storyteller make him the perfect narrator for this timeless classic."
Jones will be joined by Taylor Simmons as George Simms, Kelly Pekar as Mrs. Gibbs, Sarah McAvoy as Emily Webb, Jim Braswell as Doctor Gibbs, Jim Wicker as Professor Willard, Nick Lerew as Simon Stimson, Trenell Mooring as Mrs. Webb, T. Robert Pigott as Mr. Webb, Nicholas D' Andrea as Wally Webb, Antonia Krueger as Mrs. Soames, William Garrabrant as Si Crowell/Joe Crowell, Jr., and Natalie Cotrill as Rebecca Gibbs.
freeFall's production of OUR TOWN also features exciting choreography by Leann Alduenda. Leann is the Artistic Director of the Jimmie DeFore Dance Center, Co-Director of Pulse, and is on faculty at Chapman University.
Since its premiere in 1938, Thornton Wilder's haunting play has remained one of the most frequently performed works in the American canon. Its longevity is a testament not only to the wit and simplicity of Wilder's words. But to the questions it ponders, which are at the very root of the human experience.
Taking place in the very theatre in which it is being performed, this startling American classic is a powerful and deeply personal call to action.
Tickets can be obtained by contacting the freeFall box office. There are discounts for seniors, teachers, students and members of the military. Group rates and information can be obtained by contacting Matthew at 727-498-5205 X 7.
