Unicorn Theatre Presents NOMAD MOTEL
By: A.A. Cristi Jan. 07, 2019
On the not-so-sunny side of California, teenage Alix bounces between motel rooms while taking care of her brothers for her absent mother. Her classmate, Mason, is a budding songwriter sent to America for high school by his father in Hong Kong. Together, they must learn to scrape by without giving up their dreams. This Rolling World Premiere is a coming-of-age tale about motel kids and parachute kids making something out of nothing in the land of plenty.
*The playwright is involved in three separate "world premiere" productions of a new work sponsored by the National New Play Network. This production is produced by Unicorn Theatre, City Theatre (Pennsylvania), and Horizon Theatre (Georgia).
Nomad Motel will be co-directed by Andi Meyer and Associate Artistic Director Ian R. Crawford. The cast features the talents of Eric Palmquist, Walter Coppage, Heidi Van, Annie Schwaner, and Justin Barron. The production team includes Tanya Brown (stage manager), Emily Swenson (scenic designer and co-projections designer), Victor En Yu Tan (lighting designer), Greg Mackender (music coordinator and co-projections designer), Zack Pierson (sound designer), Sarah Oliver (costumer designer), Paula Pearson (props designer), Zoe Spangler (assistant lighting designer), Chloe Robbins (production assistant) and Chioma Anyanwu (sound board operator).
