FAR FROM FREUD Adds An Additional Performance On 1/30

By:

After six sold-out houses and repeated audience requests, Far From Freud has added an additional performance by popular demand: Friday, January 30 at 8 PM. Due to the schedule at Village Players, this will be the final extension of the production; no more performances are possible. Tickets for this performance are expected to sell-out quickly.

Far From Freud confronts the challenges of life and follows the quest for new beginnings. Though the characters are all seeing the same therapist, they come to learn that their greatest source of comfort and healing is in their relationships with each other. Featuring a vibrant, modern score, Far From Freud is a moving and powerful celebration of the strength of the human spirit. The show is written by Phil Riegle and directed by Christopher Pazdernik.

The ensemble cast includes Stephanie Foster, James Gavin, Sydney Genco, Michael Mejia, Jennifer Noble, Laura MacGregor, Erin Marie O'Shea, Andrew Toniolo, and Joe Zordan. The Production Team also includes Stage Manager Dominic Clemente and pianist Kimberly Widmer.

Far From Freud plays a final performance on Friday, January 30 at 8 PM. All tickets are $20.

Presented in the Playground Theater of the Village Players Performing Arts Center located at 1010 Madison St., Oak Park. Plenty of parking is available on the street. The theater is handicap accessible; please call ahead to arrange for special seating. Tickets available at www.village-players.org or by calling 866-764-1010.

Village Players Performing Arts Center offers an eclectic mix of entertainment that empowers and inspires while exploring the human condition.
