OLYMPIA -- South Puget Sound Community College will open its fall production Hole in the Sky on the Main Stage of the Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts on Thursday, Sept. 7, 2006 at 8 p.m.
Playwright Reed McColm presents the audience with a window into The World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001, where separate lives are woven together into one dramatic web of reality. This Emmy award- winning writer provides an overwhelming glimpse into the irrational specter of 9/11, offering a sweeping theatrical experience as well as a mode of emotional catharsis.
The play is a community endeavor, combining the efforts of Theater Arts Professor Donald Welch as director, students and staff of both South Puget Sound Community College and The Evergreen State College as actors and technical support, and local musician Derek Johnson for the soundtrack. All proceeds from the fifth anniversary memorial performance on September 11 will go to local Thurston County Fire Departments (donations in lieu of ticket sales at the door).
Hole In the Sky will run Sept. 7-11, 15, 16 at 8 p.m. and Sept. 10, 17 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 general admission and $5 for students with valid I.D., staff and seniors. Tickets are available on the web at www.spscc.ctc.edu/CFA/, or by calling (360) 596-5501. Tickets are also available at the door up to two hours prior to show.
