The Stage One Radio Players presents Sunset Blvd. at BIFF!

This Film Noir black comedy is the portrait of a forgotten silent film star who lives in exile in her grotesque LA mansion dreaming of a comeback. A struggling screenwriter half her age stumbles onto the scene to become her “kept” boyfriend. Bitter, funny, and fascinating, the film is considered the best drama ever made about the movies. This live radio production includes live music and sound effects.

Stage One is excited to announce the cast of Fool for Love by Sam Shepard directed by Nick French.

Cast:
EDDIE – Stephen Ellis
MAY – Alexia Hollis
OLD MAN – Jim Brooks
MARTIN – Chris Ogden

September 20, 21, 27, & 28 at 7:30 PM • 22 & 29 at 2 PM

At the Janesville Performing Arts Center • 408 S Main St, Janesville, WI. • 608-758-0297

The Story: Fool for Love is written by American playwright and actor Sam Shepard. The play focuses on May and Eddie, former lovers who have met again in a motel in the desert. As the recriminations pour out, and the action becomes at times physically violent, the desperate nature of their relationship becomes apparent—they cannot get along with, or without, one another, yet neither can subdue their burning passion. The play was a finalist for the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
