Surratt

11/18-11/26
$10 admission
This month, RagTag
Entertainment and Onyx Theatre join forces once again with a live stage
production unlike anything local theater has seen: a non-musical that’s all
about the music. Listen runs for two weekends, with performances on November
18, 19, 25, and 26 at 8 p.m.
Local playwright Dave
Surratt’s original full-length dramatic comedy puts audiences in the troubled
mind of Ben, an obsessive young cancer biologist and audiophile committed to
the healing power of music — much to the chagrin of his boss, an old-school
scientist convinced that Ben’s sound therapy does more harm than good. When the
demands of a headstrong new girlfriend, an overbearing best pal, and a clingy,
eccentric young patient on borrowed time all pile themselves on, Ben looks for
answers in the music — everything from ragtime to rock, techno to tone therapy
— even if those answers aren’t what he expects.
Listen is expanded from a
short piece written and performed for the 2010 Photo Plays at Katherine Gianaclis Park
The Onyx Theatre is proud to
host RagTag Entertainment's production of this new work.
