Campbell Directs Rebeck's THE WATER'S EDGE For KB Productions

Jaymes Campbell directs the latest from Nashville-based KB Productions - The Water's Edge by Theresa Rebeck - running Friday, June 30 through July 8 at The Darkhorse Theater, 4610 Charlotte Pike, Nashville.

After an absence of 17 years, Richard (Gerald Pitts) has finally come back to the now shabby lakeside home occupied by his wife, Helen (Anastasia Zavaro), and their children, Erica (Elisabeth Yancy) and Nate (Eric Butler).

Richard and Helen were separated years ago after suffering a devastating loss. Helen, who has thwarted every effort by Richard to see his children, has been steeping in grief ever since. When Richard arrives with his young girlfriend, Lucy (Maggie Pitt), the family's hospitality and humanity find their limits as their painful history is resurrected.

He is originally from Atlanta, where he worked in the professional entertainment field for over ten years before moving to Nashvillle.

Peformances are at 7 p.m. June 30-July 8, with a 5 p.m. show on Sunday, July 2. Tickets are $15 and are available at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2981274
