OUR MAINSTAGE 2010-2011 SEASON
Shining City by Conor McPherson
Directed by Susan Arnold
smarnold@dakotacom.net
September 10-26, 2010
Callbacks: Mon. April 19, 6-10 p.m.
Rehearsal Period: July 12-Aug. 29. Technical Rehearsals: Aug. 30-Sept. 10.
Shining City has been described as "modern day ghost story about human contact." Set in a therapist's office in Dublin, the play grapples with faith, guilt and redemption, underscoring the failures of language to communicate the truth. A middle-aged man (John), who has recently seen the ghost of his deceased wife, seeks professional help from a priest-turned-therapist (Ian). The travails of the guilt-ridden John offer more than professional fodder for Ian, and the routine visits become a gripping struggle to survive.
