“Facing East” Ready for Runs in Salt Lake, New York, San Francisco
February 2007
Facing East will have runs in Salt Lake City, New York, and San Francisco. Written by LDS author Carol Lynn Pearson, Facing East explores how the suicide of a gay young man affects
his LDS family.
The play will run for 3 weeks, April 19-May 6, at the Studio Theatre
of the Rose Wagner Hall. Tickets are $20 and go on sale March 1 .
You may purchase tickets by calling 801-355-ARTS. Facing East
will play Thursdays to Saturdays at 8; Sundays at 2 & 5:30. Go to
www.planbtheatrecompany.org
for more information.
“Facing East may well be the best thing Carol Lynn Pearson
has ever written, at least for the stage” wrote Ivan M. Lincoln in
the Deseret Morning News. “It raises plenty of questions
and concerns but doesn't offer any pat answers.”
“What the play does well is offer a respectful portrait of Mormons
in struggle,” wrote Ellen Fagg in the Salt Lake Tribune. Fagg calls Pearson's new play “a tightly wound domestic tragedy that raises questions about faith and sexuality. ”
Facing East is scheduled to play at the 99-seat
Atlantic Stage 2 in New York City May 25 - June 17, followed by an engagement August 10-26 at Theatre Rhinoceros in San Francisco. More information about these runs is available
at www.planbtheatrecompany.org.
