Photo Coverage: First look at The World Premiere of STICKS & STONES

By: Jerri Shafer Jun. 08, 2016

Evolution Theatre Company's LOCAL PLAYWRIGHTS FESTIVAL in association with CATCO is Theatre! Presents the world premiere of Sticks & Stones by Cory Skurdal. Winner of the 2014 GCAC / CATCO Playwrights Fellowship Award, this play tells the moving and timely story of the struggles experienced by the transgender community.

Janice, an older arts critic, writes an unfavorable review of the works of Kyle, a young transgender artist. Kyle responds with a blog post outing Jane as a closeted lesbian; she threatens to sue for defamation. In conversations with their attorneys, and with ghosts from their pasts and each other, Janice and Kyle battle age barriers, gender, culture and politics as they seek to comprehend each other and their very different lives and identities. This in one production you really don't want to miss.

Directed by Joe Bishara Featuring: Josie Merkle as Janice, Priyanka Shetty as Kendall Grey, Frank Barnhart as Dana Gordon, Tom Holliday as Judge/Terry/Kyle's father, Rachel Blenker as Kyle's mother/mother of victim, Christopher Moore Griffin as Janice's father/others, Kim Garrison Hopcraft as Susan/Janice's mother and Staley Jophiel Munroe as Kyle.

Performances are June 8 - 12th in the Van Fleet Theatre, Columbus Performing Arts Center, 549 Franklin Avenue, Columbus, OH 43215. This is a pay-what-you-wish at the door event or purchase tickets online for $15 and you will have guaranteed center section seating.
