The Players Playwrights Take the Stage: Open Door
Join us for our season finale Staged Reading Event!
AT THE BROKEN PLACES
When are broken relationships worth mending no matter what the cost? And when must they be thrown away because the price of truth is too high? When a desire to heal eventually pits brother against brother and father against son — there is a road out. But is anyone willing to walk that road?
Playwright: Paul Coleman
Director: Nichole Donjé
Featuring: CK Allen, Dale Duko, Roberto Forero, Sarah-Ann Rodgers, David Gideon & Joscelyn Wilmouth on Stage Directions

For over 20 years I have been honing and combining my skills as an artist. The goal is always to tell a story through visuals, words, and movement. It is an art to draw people in and show them a new way to see things, to think; this is what artists of any genre do.
Theatre, in particular, is by far the most amazing implementation of this concept. Artists work together as a team to tell a story that brings strangers and friends alike into a room to share an experience. We as artists leave exonerated and free, the audience leaves refreshed and charged (or at least they should). It’s both physical & emotional.
I have always been fascinated with the idea of collaboration, both with people and genre to build a community that is willing and excited to ask difficult questions while honoring one another as human beings with respect and honesty. Art is a beautiful and genuine observation of the world and I consider myself a fortunate collaborator.
