Trinity Rep's SHOOTING STAR Runs Through 11/22
Trinity Repertory Theatre opened its production of Steven Dietz's 'Shooting Star' on October 16 with stage couple Kurt Rhoads and Nance Williamson in the lead roles. FrEd Sullivan, Jr. directs the production which will run until Nov. 22.
'Shootin Star' marks Rhoads and Williamson's 55th play together. "In the early '90s there was a healthy 'actor exchange program' between Adrian Hall's two acting companies in Providence and Dallas," director FrEd Sullivan, Jr. said in a statement. "Trinity Rep would send them Peter Gerety, Cynthia Strickland, or Richard Jenkins, and they'd send us Jack Willis, Nance Williamson, and Kurt Rhoads. When I read Shooting Star, the pair popped into my head as ideal casting. It turns out that author Steven Dietz not only knew them but he considered them the 'dream cast' for his play."
Rhoads will play Reed McAllister opposite Williamson as Elena Carson. The romantic comedy tells the story of "two ex-lovers [who] meet unexpectedly in a snow-bound airport somewhere in the Midwest. Twenty years earlier, they thought themselves soul mates, and yet, eventually lost touch with each other over the years. Sharing stories deep into the night, they discover who they've become as they recall who they were."
The production team includes, set design by Patrick Lynch, costume design by William Lane, lighting design by John Ambrosone and sound design by Peter Hurowitz.
Tickets are available by calling (401) 351-4242.
