The Brewster Theater Company presents a
free staged reading of Christopher Durang’s irreverent
and adult comedy Beyond Therapy
on August 23rd at 8 pm. Directed by Ryan Dietzen,
this production will be performed at The
Tilly Foster Farm, 100 Route 312 in Brewster, NY.
Two neurotic and insecure New
Yorkers, Prudence and Bruce, are encouraged by their respective therapists
to seek romance
and embark on a tentative relationship when Prudence responds to a
personal ad placed by Bruce. Written as a
series of short comic vignettes, Durang points his particular brand
of acerbic humor both at contemporary relationships and modern
psychology.
This is Brewster Theater
Company’s second staged reading of the season, the first being Rabbit
Hole by David Lindsay-Abaire produced in May.
“Beyond Therapy is funny because each of the characters is armed with just
enough psychobabble to do real harm,” says director Dietzen, “They show in
a humorous way that it takes more than being aware of your own needs to be
happy.”
The staged reading of
Beyond Therapy features Rachel Halko of Bedford Hills as Prudence and
Matt Bogen of Carmel as Bruce. Other cast members include Nina Wilson of
Brewster as Charlotte, Gary Fischmann of Patterson as Stuart, Eric Luther
of Carmel as Bob and Brian Dallas Field of Brewster as Andrew.
There is no charge
for this production however donations are gratefully accepted.
Please note that this show contains adult themes and language.
Due to limited seating, reservations are strongly recommended. To
