Austin Playhouse announces a live screening event of Previews of Departing Attractions, a collection of short plays by local playwright Lowell Bartholomee, on Monday, September 19 at 7:30 pm. The live screening event will also include a talkback with Bartholomee and cast members.
"Previews of Departing Attractions is a theatrical breath of fresh air. Perfectly targets humanity and makes the audience laugh, cry, and gently think." -Lynn Beaver, Broadway World
Previews of Departing Attractions is a collection of witty, yet poignant short plays that span Bartholomee's career as an Austin playwright. In addition to newly commissioned work for this production, Bartholomee reworked past pieces, strengthening the thread between them, while keeping his trademark humor intact.
"An evening filled with Bartholomee's unique brand of short storytelling should not be missed." -Bob Abelman, Austin Chronicle
The ensemble cast includes Kareem Badr, Zac Carr, Marina DeYoe-Pedraza, David Dubose, Sarah Chong Harmer, Robert S. Fisher, and Juleeane Andrea.
The production team includes direction, sound, and video design by Lowell Bartholomee, costume design by Buffy Manners, lighting design by Natalie George Productions, and stage management by Kenedi Delgado.
