Cocoon Theatre is delighted to be presenting its final Soiree in the Parlor show of 2019, and final performance of 'TITLE AND DEED' - one night only - in Poughkeepsie -
Monday, December 30 at 7:00 pm. at 9 Vassar Street, Cunneen-Hackett Parlor.
Bring a dish to share for this festive potluck event (following the performance).
Enjoy sending off the year with this unique one-man play
written by Will Eno, performed by Douglas Woolley,
and directed by Marguerite San Millan.
This 75-minute stunning monologue is a haunting and often fiercely funny meditation on life as a state of permanent exile.
Tkts: $10 (pay at the door - cash, check, credit card)

We have explored this material throughout the year, performing in a variety of spaces, and are pleased to end our study at the Parlor with you all!

With Cocoon Theatre he has performed in Beckett's 'Waiting For Godot,' and 'Happy Days,' and an original work by Marguerite San Millan entitled 'Voices for a Broken House.'
