Gilda Shedstecker Presents! The Other Place

The Other Place by Sharr White premiered off-Broadway in 2011 and then returned in a hit run in 2013 to the Great White Way. A psychological thriller, this show deals with the contemporary horrors of losing a child, losing a marriage, or perhaps losing a mind.

Juliana and Ian’s only daughter ran away from home when she was 15, and it’s miraculous when she contacts Juliana as an adult herself to reconcile, now with children and a husband of her own. Juliana is happy to have Laurel’s family move into the family’s other place, a Cape Cod beach house. But something isn’t right with the arrangement and Laurel’s return, a harbinger of doubt and fear in Juliana’s world. The truth is chilling and gladness begins to crumble.

Starring as Juliana is Bridget Bazzinotti, with Patrice Rittenhouse, Grady Provance, Gretchen Scott, and Doug Tennant. Tawny Plumley Burkhardt is stage manager for director Jacki Dietz. Performances are May 13, 14, 20, and 21 at 8:00 pm at The Kathleen Howland Theatre at 324 Cleveland Ave NW, Canton, Ohio. Tickets are $10 and are available by calling 330-451-0924 or at secondapril.org. The show does contain adult language and situations and is charged with tension so parental discretion is advised.
