Photo Flash: 1st Stage presents DC Region Premiere of TREVOR

How would you feel if the person closest to you, someone with whom you interact daily, whom you care for and who cares for you, didn't understand a word you were saying and vice versa? This communication challenge is the point on which balances the story of 200-pound chimpanzee, Trevor and his owner, Sandra. As a one-time commercial and television star alongside the likes of Morgan Fairchild, Trevor is desperate to prove his relevance in a world that has moved on now that he is no longer the adorable baby monkey of his youth. His owner Sandra swears he is still harmless and childlike, protecting herself from the realities of Trevor's dangers and the deep wounds of her own losses. Based on a true story, Trevor is a tale about how relationships, flaws, and excuses can tip-toe a delicate line between side-splitting humor and dangerous misunderstandings. Trevor and Sandra's relationship spins comically and dangerously out of control in this theatrical story by "Orange is the New Black" writer, Nick Jones. The Chicago Sun-Times hailed Trevor as a "hugely entertaining tragicomedy."

The 1st Stage production of Trevor by Nick Jones features Doug Wilder (returning to 1st Stage following his Helen Hayes Award- winning appearance in One Man, Two Guvnors), Aaron Bliden, Sun King Davis, Amanda Forstrom, Leigh Jameson, and Jacob Yeh. 1st Stage Artistic Director, Alex Levy, directs the production.

Trevor will run at 1st Stage from February 2-26 with show times as follows: Thursdays at 7:30pm, Fridaysat 8pm, Saturdays at 2pm and 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm.
