Come see Magic Theatre’s FREE performance of The Resting Place!
Where: Odell Johnson Theater on Laney College campus
The Resting Place is a provocative and intense look at an American Family in a cloudburst of crisis-filled, raw humor, piercing darkness and fierce love. Playwright Ashlin Halfnight addresses familial obligation, guilt, and our own complacency and culpability in wrongdoing, and asks: How do we reconcile our love for someone with the knowledge of their horrifying transgression?
Ashlin Halfnight is an award-winning writer for stage, film, and TV and former hockey player. Ashlin’s recent credits include the Emmy-winning Netflix show, Bloodline, Artifacts of Consequence, A Hard Wall at High Speed, and God’s Waiting Room.
Our talented cast includes James Carpenter,Martha Brigham, Emily Radosevich,Wiley Naman Strasser, Andrew LeBuhn, and Emilie Talbot.
We are so proud of our long relationship with Laney College and The Fusion Theatre Project. With their help and support, we are able to share our new, bold, play with the incredible East Bay audiences for this free matinee.
