Auditions Announced for RABBIT HOLE at Xenia Area Community Theatre

xactRABBIT HOLE, a drama by David Lindsay-Abaire

Becca and Howie Corbett have a picture-perfect family life in the suburbs of New York until a random, tragic accident takes the life of their four-year old son. Soon after, Becca’s younger, irresponsible sister, Izzy, announces that she is pregnant. As Becca and Howie grow apart, Becca’s mother, Nat, badgers Becca about her grieving process, and Jason, the young driver who killed their son, continually shows up to ask forgiveness. Rabbit Hole delves into the complexity of a family navigating deep grief, and learning what it means to live a fruitful life when things fall apart.

The remarkable partnership of composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Lorenz Hart spanned twenty-four years, resulting in the scores for thirty stage musicals and nine films.

The Old Man tends to The Old Moon, refilling the light that spills out every night.

His eventful journey across land, air, and sea reminds them—and us—of the unwavering power of love.
