Campion's One-Woman Play 'Yellow Brick Road' Begins 7/17

The award-winning Following the Yellow Brick Road...Down the Rabbit Hole will premiere Off-Broadway next month.

The production will run July 17 and 18 at 8pm at Neighborhood Playhouse (340 East 54th Street), and August 14 and 21 at 8pm at The Turtle's Shell Theater (300 West 43rd Street, 4th floor).

Following the Yellow Brick Road, according to press notes, "features a breath-taking performance by Terri Campion who seamlessly and dramatically leaps from character to character as she traces the heated struggles of Cissy, a young Catholic girl struggling to learn if there is a way to have a fun and happy life and STILL get into heaven when we die.  Recipient of the 2007 Jerry Kaufman Award for excellence in playwrighting, Following the Yellow Brick Road...Down the Rabbit Hole is a poignant, witty and skillfully executed exploration of sexuality, Catholicism and growing up a late bloomer. In the course of her journey we meet friends, mothers, nuns, priests, siblings and a jolly janitor, all who have their own philosophy on life, and all brought to life in a remarkable and often humorous one-woman show where the author plays all 18 roles, many of them "on stage" at the same time."

The production is written and performed by Campion, directed by Elowyn Castle and choreographed by Mindy Haywood. Jeremy Handelman is executive producer and TaShawn "Pope" Jackson is stage manager and lighting designer.
