“Familiar Distance” opens Friday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Grange
Actors Theatre of Orcas Island
In the words of Gillian Smith, “Three fresh, delicious, handcrafted, artisanal, homebrewed plays, by Lin McNulty, James Wolf and Michele Griskey,” will open for a two weekend run at the Grange on Friday night.
“Familiar Distance” is the theme of the trio of plays which consider:
What happens when you return to a familiar place from your past? What has changed? What remains the same? These are among the questions explored in the upcoming presentation of these locally-written one-act plays.
Presented by Actors Theater of Orcas Island, the collection includes “Lilacs,” by Michele Griskey, which examines a young woman’s escape to a childhood cabin to sort out some troubles with her life, starring Vanessa Moriarty, Suzanne Gropper, and Kevin Doyle.
“I Used to Live Here,” by James Wolf, explores a man’s unexpected visit to the apartment he grew up in, starring Emmy Gran and Kelly Toombs.
“Safe & Warm,” by Lin McNulty, reveals a completely unexpected series of events with the return of someone from the past, starring Gillian Smith and Freddy Hinkle
“Familiar Distance” opens on Friday, November 14 and runs for two weekends: Friday and Saturday, November 14-15, and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, November 21-23 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and available from Darvills or online through Brown Paper Tickets at orcasactors.com.
Subject matter is for mature audiences.
