WESTERN: a play with music at the Next Stage Theatre Festival
By: Rebecca Russo
Opening January 5, as a part of the Next Stage Theatre Festival, the newly minted Harvey Dunn Campfire is pleased to present a twisted look at a beloved genre, WESTERN, a play with music. Jointly created between acclaimed theatre practitioners Playwright Matthew Gorman, Composer Gordon Bolan and Director Geoffrey Pounsett, and featuring a cast of award-winning talent, WESTERN, a play with music delivers all that we love from the wild west.
Reach wants a home, Nance wants a son, Jenet wants her brother, Dirt wants release and Rabbit just wants to run. A murderer, a vengeful mother, a distracted sister, and a crooked lawman. What's a little boy named Rabbit to do with so many predators? Part myth and part frontier ballad, WESTERN, a play with music is a reckless chase through an imagined western landscape. Join these acclaimed indie theatre artists 'round the fire for a story about family, blood and claiming what's yours.Jan. 5-15, 2017
