Beane is an exile from life—an oddball. His well-meaning sister, Joan, and brother-in-law, Harry, try and make time for him in their busy lives, but no one can get through. Following a burglary on his apartment, Joan is baffled to find her brother blissfully happy and tries to unravel the story behind Beane’s mysterious new love, Molly. Funny, enchanting and wonderfully touching, John Kolvenbach’s offbeat comedy is a rhapsody to the power of love in all its forms.

North Coast Repertory Theatre
Jessa Watson as Izzy
April 4 - April 26, 2009
Previews April 1 - 3, 2009
David Lindsay-Abaire’s 2007 Pulitzer Prize winning play Rabbit Hole charts the bittersweet search for comfort in the darkest of places. Rabbit Hole addresses the universal subject of a hole in the heart. It is a powerfully understated, and sometimes funny, portrait of changing emotions - from happy to sad to angry to disbelief. The characters are drawn in such an understandable way, we feel with them because we know them. A powerful and important piece of theatre.
