Off-Broadway's ANY NIGHT To Close June 19

Starry Night Entertainment (White People, Mistakes Were Made) in association with The Bridge Theatre Company presents DualMinds Productions' U.S. Premiere of ANY NIGHT. Winner of 5 Toronto Now Awards (Outstanding Production, New Play, Direction, Performances, & Design), this romantic thriller is written and performed by Daniel Arnold & MedIna Hahn and directed by Ron Jenkins (Bash'd).

Performances run through June 19 at The LABA Theatre at The 14th Street Y.

In ANY NIGHT, a young woman suffering from sleepwalking and night terrors is drawn into a tender romance with the young man living above her. But how does he know her so well? ANY NIGHT is a romantic thriller about privacy, paranoia, and the immeasurable power of the
subconscious.

ANY NIGHT has received raves and awards across Canada including "Best Show of the Year" citations in Toronto and Vancouver. It was published by Playwrights Canada Press and is in development as a feature film.

The award-winning production features sound by Gord Heal, lighting by David Fraser, set and props by Peter Pokorny, costumes by Erin Macklem, stage management by Jennifer Swan, and a voiceover by Brian Linds.
