Falcon Theatre
Jan. 26-Feb. 10
Newport

Directed by Ed Cohen

Cast: Rory Sheridan as Katurian, Michael Monks as Michal, Joe Hornbaker as Tupolski & Nathan Tubbs as Ariel

In an unnamed totalitarian state, a writer whose macabre fairy tales are eerily similar to a series of child murders is interrogated by government officials. The unsettling and thoroughly startling story that follows is an unblinking examination of the power, nature, and purpose of art. ADVISORY:  This play contains graphically violent content.

If it can be said that everyone has a story to tell, then it is probably also true that everybody has a song in their heart. Whether sung or heard, songs mark our milestones and remind us of those special moments in our lives. Come hear stories about the songs that made a difference… for better or for worse!
