KNOW Theatre Opens 30th Season With RABBIT HOLE

KNOW Theatre will launch its 30th anniversary season with a production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Rabbit Hole" by David Lindsay-Abaire from Sept. 16 to Oct. 1.

Becca (Joanna Patchett) and Howie Corbett (Jeff Tagliaferro) have everything a family could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. "Rabbit Hole" charts their bittersweet search for comfort in the darkest of places and for a path that will lead them back into the light of day.

Also starring in the production are Kirsten Whistle (Izzy), Lynette Daniels (Nat) and Jacob Donlin (Jason). Directing "Rabbit Hole" is KNOW artistic director Tim Gleason.

Lindsay-Abaire is a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, screenwriter, lyricist and librettist. His play "Rabbit Hole" received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, five Tony Award nominations and the Spirit of America Award. He also wrote the book and lyrics for "Shrek the Musical," which was nominated for eight Tonys, four Olivier Awards and a Grammy Award, and it earned Lindsay-Abaire the Kleban Prize as America's most promising musical theatre lyricist.

His other plays include "Good People," "Ripcord," "Fuddy Meers," "Kimberly Akimbo," "Wonder of the World" and "A Devil Inside." In addition to his work in theatre, his screen credits include his film adaptation of "Rabbit Hole" (starring Nicole Kidman, who received an Oscar nomination), Dreamworks' "Rise of the Guardians" and "The Family Fang." He is also, along with Marsha Norman, co-director of the playwriting program at the Juilliard School.
