After an emergency postponement last August, Peter Fenton's dark comedy Abandon All Hope will be performed WestArt in Lancaster on Thursday, May 9 and Friday, May 10, at 7:00pm.

Despite a change in venue, this comedy where hell is other people (and also a dorm room) will still be staged in a venue that used to be a church building, Fenton says: "there is something deeply ironic about a dark comedy play set in Hell being staged inside a venue that used to be a church building."

The production also serves as a "homecoming production" for Fenton as he works with long-time friend and producing and consulting director Suzanne Fisher, a since-retired teacher who directed Fenton's first play when he was in high school.

A note from the producers: Due to language, content, and themes, this play is recommended for audiences aged 14 and up.
