SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR
Adapted by Steve Moulds from the play by Luigi Pirandello
Directed by Kate Chavez

Six fictional characters, abandoned by their creator, invade a rehearsal in progress and demand to be brought to life by a new author. But the characters’ existential agenda collides with the more lighthearted ambitions of these theatre artists, whose open rehearsal “audience engagement event” becomes darkly entangled with the characters’ tragic story.

This intimate adaptation of Luigi Pirandello’s absurdist classic foregrounds the comedic contrast between melodrama and the contemporary sensibilities of the acting company—all the while asking us to consider just what we believe to be real.

This show is rated PG13 for language and some difficult themes.
