Central Works: Thanksgiving Day Weekend New Audio Play The Human Ounce By Nicole Parizeau

Central Works second audio play presentation The Human Ounce by Nicole Parizeau posts this holiday weekend. The Human Ounce by Nicole Parizeau opened Central Works' 30th season and was the inaugural offering for the Central Works Script Club. A CW world-premiere about art and scandal, The Human Ounce by Nicole Parizeau played to packed houses and had just announced a 1-week extension before the theater was forced to close its doors. The Human Ounce was described at its opening as "posing provocative questions..." in a "fiery debate." "Directed by Gary Graves; fascinating, lively, and well-acted...never panders to either side or to any contemporary movement, such as #MeToo. One can imagine that the debate Parizeau so adeptly dramatizes will rage on throughout the ages." This production offers a dynamic auditory experience underscoring its powerful psychological imagery. The Human Ounce is available beginning Thanksgiving weekend.

This radio play is directed by Gary Graves, and the original ensemble cast of The Human Ounce returns with Champagne Hughes, Kimberly Ridgeway and Don Wood; Greg Scharpen provides engineering, editing and sound design. The script was developed in the Central Works Writers Workshop.

Tickets are sliding: scale $5-$25 with a limited number of complimentary tickets; donations to support artist fees and production expenses are gratefully appreciated. To listen, please visit centralworks.org/cw30update beginning November 26.
