width=300> <BR><BR>Main Street Stage announces the production of Lee
Blessing's drama <EM>Down the Road</EM>. The show opens Friday, April 20
at 8 p.m.<BR><BR>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 <EM>Ghosts</EM>. Mr. Trainor appeared in last
spring's Main Street Stage premier of Jennifer Mattern's <EM>Like
Home</EM>. <EM>Down the Road</EM> 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. <BR><BR>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. <BR><BR><EM>Down the Road</EM> 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 performances at 8
p.m. on Thursday, April 26 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.
