Third Avenue Playhouse opens the 2019 season with Shooting Star, written by American playwright Steven Dietz. The play has a simple plot: two college lovers, Elena Carson (Amy Ensign) and Reed McAllister (Doug Mancheski), are unexpectedly reunited when they’re snowed in at an airport. Elena has stayed true to her hippie-ish, counter-culture path, while Reed has gone predictably corporate and conservative. As the night gives way to laughter, banter, remembrance and alcohol, Elena and Reed revisit a past that holds more surprises than they imagined—and a present that neither of them could have predicted.
Opening night of Shooting Star benefits the Door Peninsula Astronomical Society. Performance schedule begins April 4 and goes through April 20, Thursday – Saturday evenings at 7:30pm and Sunday matinees at 2:00pm. There is also a special Wednesday performance on April 17 at 7:30pm. General Admission is $30 for adults and $12 for students. There is also a pay-what-you-can preview on April 3.
Shooting Star is directed by James Valcq, featuring Doug Mancheski and Amy Ensign.
