PLANO Comes To Wagner College Theatre Stage One

Plano is a city in Texas...or an existential state of being... or a curse. In this wonderfully unsettling, screwball comedy we meet three sisters on a porch in Dallas, each suffering from their own problems. As time and circumstances slip and swirl around them, at the center of the storm remains three sisters sharing their memories and nightmares. Directed by Tony Award-Winner and Wagner College Professor Michele Pawk, PLANO is an unexpected exploration of life, relationships, and time.

When asked what the audience should expect from PLANO, Riku Toyohara who plays Steve says to not come in with any preconceived notions. Instead, "[it's] really just about living moment to moment with the characters that you see on stage and following them as they're struggling, trying to figure out how to solve all these issues in their lives."

Playwright Will Arbery is an American playwright, screenwriter and TV writer, known for his plays Heroes of the Fourth Turning, Plano, and Evanston Salt Costs Climbing. Heroes of the Fourth Turning was a finalist for the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and will be presented in Wagner College Theatre's Stage One venue next May as part of the 2024-25 season.
