PCPA THEATERFEST PRESENTS
INTERPLAY: The Stage Between
A Festival of New Plays

It’s all about the spoken word when an actor picks up a script. Now in its sixth year, InterPlay: The Stage Between is the simple art of storytelling without embellishments. It’s just the actor, the audience, and the spoken word. On Thursday October 4 through Sunday, October 7 PCPA Theaterfest will present three new works—each play will be read twice.

Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 6 at 2 p.m. is The Sweetest Swing in Baseball by Rebecca Gilman.
Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 7 at 2 p.m. is Rabbit Hole by David Lindsay-Abaire.
Oct. 6 and 7 at 7 p.m. is the The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh.
Performances are in the Severson Theatre on the Allan Hancock College campus.
All tickets are $10.00.

The Sweetest Swing in Baseball
Written in 2004, The Sweetest Swing uses baseball’s Darryl Strawberry as an alter ego for Dana Fielding who is battling depression and schizophrenia. Dana’s world mirrors Strawberry’s struggles with career success, addiction, and comebacks. The play also explores the fickle relationships of the public with its heroes and art and commerce

Rabbit Hole was written in 2006 and won the Pulitzer Prize in 2007. It’s a journey of finding the way back to light and life from unresolved parental grief. Characters Becca and Howie must come to terms with their meddling family, a sister’s pregnancy, guilt, loss, and the return of a dog.

The Pillowman is part mystery, part black comedy: A fiction writer’s eerie short stories, which he creates to entertain his mentally challenged brother, bear an uncanny resemblance to bizarre incidents occurring in town. It’s up to the police investigator to separate fact from fiction.

All readings contain adult language and mature themes.

For tickets and more information call 805-922-8313 (Wed-Sun 1-7pm) or purchase online anytime at www.pcpa.org.

Now in its 43rd season, PCPA Theaterfest, the Central Coast’s Resident Professional Theatre Company and Conservatory, has infused the national theatre scene with thousands of trained actors and theatrical technicians over the years.
