Bridge - a two act thriller
In association with the Del Shores Foundation
Sponsored by Philip Wm. McKinley & David A. Manning, McKinley/Manning Foundation
Del Shores & Emerson Collins will be attending this production!
Step into the eerie world of a seemingly abandoned 1959 Brooklyn television studio, "Right Dial Television". When two detectives arrive to investigate a tripped alarm, they uncover the sinister secrets behind the studio's newest program: a wholesome, black-and-white 1950s sitcom called Bridge. As the line between the "color" reality of the office and the
"monochrome" world of the broadcast begins to blur, the characters-detectives, a producer, an assistant, and the cast of the sitcom-find themselves trapped in a terrifying loop where people vanish into thin air, going "poof". This chilling two-act thriller explores the nature of reality, trauma, and autonomy, forcing the actors to inhabit two distinctly different worlds and face a mysterious, menacing presence known only as "The Man". The play was one of the 2024 winners of the Del Shores Foundation Southern Writers search, which recognizes emerging LGBTQ-plus writers and artists. It's a free event but donations are welcome to continue the support of new artists.
