Out of Pocket continues its SEVENTEENTH season with the Rochester premiere of "Body Awareness", a tart, funny and heartbreaking look at a contemporary family by Macarthur "Genius Grant"-winning playwright Annie Baker ("The Flick", "Circle Mirror Transformation.") Directed by Cece McFarland, the cast includes Jasmin Singer, Christine Wade, Ross Amstey, and Joshua Gleason.
It’s Body Awareness Week on a Vermont college campus and Phyllis, the organizer, and her partner, Joyce, are hosting one of the guest artists in their home: Frank, a photographer famous for his female nude portraits. Both his presence in the home and his chosen subject instigate tension from the start. Phyllis is furious at his depictions, but Joyce is actually rather intrigued by the whole thing, even going so far as to contemplate posing for him. As Joyce and Phyllis bicker, Joyce’s adult son, who may or may not have autism spectrum disorder, struggles to express himself physically – with heartbreaking results.
Performances at the MuCCC will be March 14th, 15th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd at 7:30 PM and March 16th at 2:00 PM.
