One of the great joys of working in theater is being able to find artistic homes. Trinity Repertory Company is one of those homes for me, and this Sunday I'll be heading back.
I'm heading up to direct the premiere production of George Brant's haunting, moving play The Mourner's Bench. Exploring the ways in which we are forever attached to the past - sometimes not even our own, it's a play that is surprisingly devastating and hopeful.
Trinity has taken on the noble challenge of producing three new plays in rep this year, allowing Providence to be exposed to new work, and allowing the company to really perform as a repertory company. I'm curious and intrigued to see how Curt Columbus' Sparrowgrass and Deb Salem Smith's Love Alone will dialogue with The Mourners' Bench, and how our spectacular cast and production team will rise to the challenge.
Above all, I'm excited to return to another home and be amongst family.
