ELLENVILLE- Prepare to embark on a thought-provoking journey of love, forgiveness, and the transformative power of time in the engaging new play “Off Peak” by Brenda Withers. Directed by Brendan Burke, this gripping production is set to run from September 15, 2023, to October 1, 2023, at The Studio, Shadowland Stages’ intimate black box space located at 14 Market Street in Ellenville.
“Off Peak” delves into the complexities of love and memory when two former flames unexpectedly encounter each other during the evening commute. As they navigate their differing perspectives on a shared past, the delicate connection they form is tested by the echoes of long-forgotten memories. This touching story explores themes of forgiveness, forgetting, and the profound potential of a well-timed delay.
Joining the cast is Mary McCann, an actor and founding member of Atlantic Theater Company, who also serves as the Executive Director of the Atlantic Acting School. Mary’s Broadway credits include the Lincoln Center Production of “Our Town” and the Second Stage revival of “Uncommon Women and Others.” She has also appeared in “The Old Neighborhood” and “Search and Destroy,” as well as playing Carol in David Mamet’s “Oleanna” at the Orpheum Theater for a year. Mary will perform opposite Steve Brady. Steve previously performed on the Shadowland Stage in productions “Lady’s Man,” “Yankee Tavern,” “Lifespan of a Fact,” “The Dangers of Electric Lighting,” and “The Seafarer.” On Broadway, Steve appeared in “Inherit the Wind,” and Off-Broadway in “Bill W. and Dr. Bob” at the Soho Playhouse, “Poor Beast in the Rain” at Irish Arts, “The Power of Darkness” at The Mint, and “A Dangerous Personality” at Perry Street.
