ABOUT "Wide Open"...
Aetna Theater at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art Welcomes Back
"WIDE OPEN" Stage Play for two Encore performances!
After a phenomenal performance by Shireal Renee and the entire cast the Wide Open stage play was left with a standing ovation. The Wadsworth Atheneum's, Curator of Film and Theater, Debbie Gaudet said with much enthusiasm, "This show should be on Broadway..." Debbie has invited the production back for an encore performance in the Aetna Theater on February 5th and 6th 2011; show will run 7pm on Saturday and 2pm on Sunday. This time around former president of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art and Travelers Foundation John H. Motley will host both nights.
Wide Open is an unconventional one-woman show, there are other actors on stage at various times but the main character Renee is the only one with a speaking role; the other incredibly talented actors play Renee's thoughts expressing them through interaction and dance movements. The plot is a poetic journey through a young woman's life as she battles with growing pains, adversity and suffers through an abusive relationship, finally turning to God to help her get through. The show is comical, heartfelt, spiritual, universal and timeless with a hopeful message that anyone can relate to.
