SUCCESS ... and a preview!
SUCCESS ... and a preview!We can't say it enough: Thank you for supporting our second season!
Our annual appeal, which will see us through both our upcoming production of What Corbin Knew and this summer's She Loves Me, has been a resounding success thanks to our fantastic donors! (If you haven't bragged to your friends yet, just send them a link to our Sponsors page.) We've met and exceeded our fundraising goals for the year - and we'll make every penny of it show.
In rehearsal: What Corbin Knew by Jeffrey Hatcher
(Tickets are available now!
"But there could have been things I missed ... I just wish we could start over."
A contractor has been granted a private luxury skybox in a new arena, perfect for taking in rock concerts and sporting events. Unfortunately, when the lonely Corbin invites two couples to share in his good fortune, their meeting sets off a dangerous - yet often hilarious - chain of clashes. A shocking, tragic turn prompts Corbin to wonder what went on behind his back; given a new perspective on the story, we soon realize that his so-called friends are more desperate, absurd, and twisted than he had ever imagined.
Director Jacqui Robbins, who also directed last summer's Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet), thinks the show is a perfect fit for the company, as well as Performance Network's second stage: “What Corbin Knew is a theatrical wild ride; it’s fast-paced and farcical, with a clever structure that’s full of surprises. But it also challenges our assumptions about people and stereotypes and what we think we know. The Mosh Pit is so fabulously intimate; we’re hoping audiences will feel like they are right in the skybox with the characters.” Matt Cameron, Rebecca Hardin, Melynee Saunders Warren (member, Actor’s Equity Association), Roy Sexton, and Russ Schwartz will star.
President Lauren London, last seen as Constance in Goodnight Desdemona, has taken on the job of producing the group's second show. She adds, “Performance Network is essentially acting as an incubator for our company this winter. They have loaned us space, props, set, and costume pieces, have treated us like family, and have defrayed many of the expenses we would typically pay for this show. We couldn’t ask for a greater mentor, or more substantial help as we grow.”
