Theater is alive in Norristown! Last week wrapped production for 'Circle Mirror Transformation' at Theatre Horizon and this week will kick off another. This time at The Centre Theater. Iron Age Theatre will kick off a season of 'Buried Child.' This week's Theater Tuesday will talk about the new play coming to Centre Theater and why you should support it.
About 'Buried Child'
"A wildly funny black comedy
On a road trip to his Grandfather's farm in Illinois, Vince hopes to renew lost family ties. Instead, he find himself trapped in a dark family mystery. With wicked black humor, Shepard's Pulitzer Prize winning play is a dazzlingly profound look at the fragmentation of the myth of the American family.
Revised for the 1996 Broadway production. This powerful and brilliant play probes deep into the disintegration of the American Dream. "Shepard is one of the most prolific of our playwrights, and, for that matter, certainly one of the most brilliant." —NY Post. "Mr. Shepard is an uncommon playwright and uncommonly gifted" —NY Times. "'wildly poetic, full of stage images and utterances replete with insidious suggestiveness" —NY Magazine."
Make sure you purchase your ticket today!
Mr. Doyle explains why supporting theater productions like 'Buried Child' are important to the community as a whole in his latest blog. To become a theater town, we must support our current productions with our generosity. As a Norristonian, you may think $22 for a ticket is high. You're wrong. Broadway and major city shows START at $40+. If you've been to a theater performance in Norristown vs Broadway, you know there is no difference. Norristown Arts Hill produces some great shows and the actors/actresses are great at what they do. These are people with theater backgrounds and a career in acting. So $22 for a ticket is a steal.
Let's make 'Buried Child' a success by selling out every performance. Having a packed audience at every show is not only great for people in the show, but it helps fund future productions for years to come. The Centre Theater is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization which encourages all donations and appreciates sold-out audiences. Attend the opening show, witness it for yourself and pass along the word to your friends. Help our arts community grow by spreading the word.
