WORLD PREMIERE
I Saw My Neighbor On the Train and I Didn't Even
Smile
a Co-Production with New Neighborhood
at The
Unicorn Theatre, Stockbridge
The Larry Vaber Stage
Wednesday, July 15-Saturday, August 15
After yet another incident at school, Sadie, a
clever teenager with a hard exterior, is sent to stay with her estranged
father, Jamie, a struggling music producer. Already weighed down with personal
matters, Jamie guilts his neurotic, naïve sister, Rebecca, played by Keira
Naughton (Birthday Boy, Macbeth, Faith Healer, The Book Club Play) into
watching Sadie. Plagued by her overwhelming, cynical mother, Daphne, played by
Linda Gehringer (The Crowd You're With, How to Write a New Book for the Bible),
Rebecca reluctantly invites Sadie into her secluded life. As each character's
carefully constructed layers unfurl, they are forced to step out of their
comfort zone, and embrace life's blemishes.
