[Forum] Main Street Stage Presents "Down the Road"

[Edward Cating]

Hi All,

Please pass on this news about Main Street Stage's upcoming performance of
Lee Blessing's "Down the Road". Also not that we have decided to have not
one, but two - that's right, you heard it here first, TWO - Community Nights
(Thursday April 26 and May 3). These are pay-what-you-can nights and are
unique to the Main Street Stage. Seating, however, is limited! So reserve
seating...

Edward

MAIN STREET STAGE ANNOUNCES LEE BLESSING'S "DOWN THE ROAD"

Main Street Stage announced today the production of Lee Blessing's
drama DOWN THE ROAD.  The show opens Friday, April 20 at 8 p.m.

The three-character play is directed by Main Street Stage's Artistic
Director, Bruce T. MacDonald.  The cast features Ed Cating as Bill
Reach, Mike Trainor as Dan Henniman, and Liz Urban as Iris Henniman.
Mr. Cating was last seen in Main Street Stage's recent production of
Ibsen's GHOSTS.  Mr. Trainor appeared in last spring's Main Street
Stage premier of Jennifer Mattern's LIKE HOME.  DOWN THE ROAD marks
Ms. Urban's debut with Main Street Stage.  She is known locally as
the President of North Adams' Mill City Productions and heads up the
Greylock Theatre Project in association with Williamstown Theatre
Festival.

Dan and Iris Henniman have been hired to write a book recounting Bill
Reach's heinous crimes.  Reach has admitted his guilt in the savage
slayings of nineteen (or more) women.  Over the many weeks of
interviews the stress wears on the couple as they record Reach's
testimony of his unbelievably cruel acts. The Henniman's begin to
question the ethics of presenting Reach's story, in all its horrific
brutality, as if it were just another commodity to feed America's
obsession with celebrity.

DOWN THE ROAD at Main Street Stage, 57 Main Street in North Adams,
previews Thursday, April 19 and opens Friday, April 20, then plays
Fridays and Saturdays through May 5 at 8 p.m.  There will be two
Sunday matinees, April 29 and May 6 at 4 p.m. and two special
Community Night performance at 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 27 and May
3.  Tickets are $20 general admission, $15 for seniors, $10 for
students.  Community Night performances are "Pay What You Can".
Seating is very limited.  Reservations are recommended and can be
made by calling 413-663-3240.
