*TWO MORE WEEKENDS FOR ERIC COBLE'S THE FIRST SNOW OF SUMMER* *"When you visit a geyser, you expect an eruption; you see the steam in the air, smell the sulfur and watch the water boil as bubbles form and pop in response to continuous pressure. Coble’s script, with help from the talented Seat of the Pants’ cast and creatives, emulates the ever-increasing anticipation one feels when waiting for something to explode–and when it does, the power of the eruption will leave you wide eyed and in awe." (Gwendolyn Kochur, Cleveland Scene)* Seat of the Pants' final show of the 2024-2025 season is the world premiere of a fascinating new play by Cleveland-based Tony-, Emmy-, and Pulitzer-nominated playwright, Eric Coble. We have been developing and workshopping this play since its inception two and a half years ago, and we're thrilled finally to bring a full production into existence. In the face of an oncoming natural disaster, a family gathers at their childhood home in the mountains of Colorado. As the clock ticks, old wounds open and new opportunities for connection arise, even as mysterious omens encroach from the surrounding woods. Amidst laughter, tears, and unexpected outbursts, the clan is forced to confront who and what is worth saving when the end draws near. Co-directed by Anne McEvoy and Craig Joseph, produced by Abraham Adams, the production stars Courtney Brown*, Samantha Cocco, Jacki Dietz, Fabio Polanco*, Juliette Regnier, and Neda Spears. Charlene Hartley stage manages, with scenic design by Ron Newell, costume design by Abbie Hagen, sound design by Maggie Hamilton, lighting design by Ayron Lord, props design by Erin Ocampo, carpentry by Don Moran, and fight direction by Michael Glavan. THE FIRST SNOW OF SUMMER is made possible in part through the generous support of The George Gund Foundation. The show runs June 20-29, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 and Sundays at 2:30, at The Darl Center for the Arts in Cleveland. Tickets range from $20-$32, and can be purchased online at thefirstsnowofsummersotp.eventbrite.com. *Advance purchase is highly recommended; some performances will sell out.* Tour of the Darl Center for the Arts following the matinee on Sunday, June 22nd; talkback with playwright Eric Coble following the performance on Saturday, June 28th.
