Evolution Theatre Company production change.
Due to various circumstances, it was necessary to cancel our planned production of Furry Tails With a Twist. But the good news is that we have replaced it with the AREA PREMIERE PRODUCTION of Being Seen by Richard Gustin. This captivating tour de force comedy looks at making a fresh start. An actor answers a cryptic audition notice from a highly acclaimed director and finds themselves navigating an outlandish creative process. This fast-paced comedy with a dark underbelly explores profound questions about ambition, vulnerability and the cost of chasing a dream.
Directed by Aaron Mendoza and featuring Larence Todd Taylor as The Actor and Mark P. Schwamberger as The Director.
Performances:
July 9, 10 & 11 at 7:30 PM
July 16, 17 & 18 at 7:30 PM

The Shedd Stage in the Columbus Performing Arts Center
549 Franklin Ave., Columbus, Oh 43215.

HELP HELP HELP!!! We were just informed that the venue we were going to use for our July show is not available. So, we next a space for a very simply two character show, very little set (a chair and a table) no special lighting just lights up, no special sound. Could be a theatre setting, a cabaret setting...seats maybe 50 - 60 or more people. We will consider any venue at this point. Schedule for July 9 - 18 but if necessary, the dates could be any time in July. Please contact me Mark Phillips Schwamberger email [email protected], 614-233-1124.
