SUNSTREET PRODUCTIONS AND BEYOND THE BARN
In this powerful one-man show, directed by and starring the author, Ernest Thompson performs a cast of characters as hilarious, imperfectly human and heartrending as those in his most iconic work—On Golden Pond—his three dozen other plays, ten films and two novels.
Movement is a metaphor in Archie Parish’s Parting Words and audiences will find inspiration from the not young but youthful writer/actor/director and long-ago dancer, fearless in demonstrating that it really is possible in our lives, at any stage, to move (on).
