The Shadow Box at Spotlighters Theatre

THE SHADOW BOX by Michael CristoferDirected by Sharon Weaver, with Stage Manager, Paul Saarmore info at www.spotlighters.org/shadowbox Joe, Brian, and Felicity come from different walks of life, different parts of the country, and are in different stages of accepting the things they have in common: they are all dying of cancer, and they are all living out their final days, in company with friends and family, in homey hospice cottages on the green and pleasant grounds of a large California hospital.They are observed, studied, and counseled by an invisible Interviewer as they talk candidly about their emotional and physical struggles, and face interpersonal challenges: Joes wife Maggie, in denial about her husbands impending death, refuses to go inside his cottage; artistic Brian, busy trying to write and paint enough for twelve lifetimes, must mediate between his ex-wife Beverly and his boyfriend Mark; and Felicity, confused and in pain, refuses to die until she gets a visit from her daughter Claire -- a daughter who has been dead for years. Michael Cristofers sensitive, emotionally devastating, ground-breaking play exploring the end of life experience won both a Tony Award for Best Play and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1977.Opening Night Reception: Fri, Feb 7, 2020 Join the cast & director following the performanceTen Spot Thursday: Thur, Feb 13, 2020 All Tickets just $10.00Talk Back w/ Cast & Director: Sun, Feb 23, 2020 Immediately following performance
