Withrow Park
Written by Morris Panych
Produced by Tarragon Theatre
Three people gaze out their living room window as the days pass. Across the street in Withrow Park life goes on – or is it a dream?
Then a knock at the door. Time has found them, hiding in plain sight. Or possibly it’s just a man in a wrinkled suit. But they must act, now, or forever be devoured by their own indifference. Logan Avenue awaits, and beyond it, heaven, perhaps. They can no longer live on the periphery of their own lives. They must invite the young man to dinner.
Withrow Park asks what we see in the darkness, and who is watching us from the light.
Nov. 15-Dec. 10, 2023.
Prophesy Fog
By Jani Lauzon
Created and Performed by Jani Lauzon
Prophecy Fog begins with a journey into the Mojave Desert in search of Giant Rock, armed with the question: can a site still be sacred if it has been desecrated?
Note of frustration: The three productions listed above ALL open on Nov. 15. Ridiculous. Don’t these theatre people speak to each other to prevent this stuff, to give them a fighting chance to grab an audience?
Mindboggling.
Nov. 16-Dec. 2, 2023.
