“[Producer Jason] Compton says putting on shows in nontraditional venues tends to broaden the audience: “People seem to respond when you bring shows a little closer to where they live and work.”
Directors were drawn from the eight-person ensemble, and the excerpts will be introduced so audiences will understand the context. Compton says that, as an actor, the stripped-down production offers a challenge: “As a performer, you have to work [only] with what’s in your head, and what you can express with your body and voice, and the other people around you.””
