Canyon Moon Theatre Presents Trio with Flute, Closes 1/23

While flying his kite in Central Park, a mentally challenged man is attracted by an Albanian flutist who escaped to New York from Kosova. This is the beginning of Richard Warren's Trio with Flute which closes at Canyon Moon Theatre January 23, 2011.

Although warned by his guardian Aunt Lou not to wander off with strangers, William helps Feride to her home. The secret motivations of these three very different people are revealed as they struggle to build relationships in a complicated world. Playwright Richard Warren tells this poignant story of loss, hope and determination with humor and a clear understanding of the complexities of life. Kerry Lengel, drama critic for The Arizona Republic, praised Trio in his review: "...the journey is worthwhile, provoking both thought and emotion."

Canyon Moon Theatre's Director, Mary Guaraldi, chose Trio with Flute because the script is "so richly textured that its story crosses the boundaries of age, culture and time. I was surprised by the events and by the characters. This is the kind of play-writing that speaks to audiences on many levels."

Playwright Richard Warren is co-founder of Phoenix Theatre's highly regarded New Works Festival. His plays have been seen throughout the country and his piece In the Valley of the Sun was done at CMT in Season 6. Warren participated in the University of Idaho's 2008 Festival of New Works, Montana Rep's 2009 and 2010 Missoula Colonies and was honored as Phoenix Theatre's 2010 Angel of the Art.
