COYOTE RISING
Sometimes the past won't let you go…it's Thanksgiving
weekend on a deserted stretch of Iowa
highway. Brothers Peter and Jason Solomon hit a coyote and crash into a ditch.
Forced to intrude on the nearest family, the weekend takes a strange turn as
old mistakes, present loss and new love turn brother against brother, sister
against sister, and an old friend into an enemy. As the bonds of family are
strained and the struggle for survival ensues, each must face the decision of
remaining with the pack or striking out on his own.
Coyote Rising is written by Tira Palmquist and directed by Jeanne LaSala. The cast includes Carrie Baker, Maria Cellario, Michelle Cowin, Dudley Knight, Richard Padro, Thom Rivera and Heidi Tokheim. Sound Design by Mitchell Greenhill. Original Music by Lauren Echo. Engineered by Damon Whittemore. Running time is 82 minutes.
THE BOY AT THE WINDOW
The Boy at the Window
is a new comedy that revisits Wendy, John and Michael, the three siblings who
flew off to Never Neverland with Peter Pan. Now dysfunctional adults, they
begin to realize that their current problems all stem from their early exposure
to Peter and his rather unhealthy outlook on life. The Boy at the Window
inspires its characters, as well as its audiences, to re-examine their thoughts
on accepting adulthood because, unlike Peter Pan, we must all grow up.
The cast includes Brandon Collinsworth, Steven Hauck, Joshua Hilson, Ryan Jensen, Glenn Kalison, Emily Rogge as Peter Pan and Rebecca Tourino. Sound Design by Joshua Hilson. Engineered by Damon Whittemore. Running time is 67 minutes.
PATRIOT ACT (An
Occurrence at Yankee Stadium)
Patriot Act (An
Occurrence at Yankee Stadium) is an imaginative glimpse into the real-life
moment when a fan dove from the upper deck at Yankee Stadium. The play loosely
mirrors the structure of An Occurrence at
Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce, but instead of escaping hanging during
the Civil War to journey home the protagonist in this tale, Kevin Coogan, finds
himself thrust into a top-secret world of intrigue and national security. On
his fantastical journey, Kevin discovers just how difficult it is for a young man
to be a hero in America
today.
The cast includes Glenn Kalison, Donnetta Lavinia Grays, Keith Randolph Smith, Jonathan Walker, Brad Cresswell and George Preston. Sound Design and Original Music Composition by Mitchell Greenhill. Engineered by Allistar Peters. Running time is 78 minutes. The run for each recorded sound play is open-ended. For more info on the company visit www.CoyoteRep.org. Appropriate for ages 16 and up.
