July Performances in Phoenix
The last script written by the legendary Dale Wasserman will be performed as a one-man play in the upcoming New Works Festival at Phoenix Theatre in July. Burning In The Night has been carefully adapted by playwright Richard Warren and paired with period folk music and sound effects by composer Bill Francoeur, composer of the beautiful melodies of Western Star.
Burning In the Night is a semi-autobiographical story of one man's journey from runaway-teen to rail-riding hobo to globe-trotting writer for telelvision, stage and screen. Throughout his fascinating life, he pursued the impossible dream of absolute freedom; only be discover it's a delusion, fraught with debilitating limitations.
Everyone is invited! Performances are Sunday, July 11 at 3:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, July 25 at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $10. Buy tickets online at www.phoenixtheatre.com or call the box office at 602-254-2151.
