2-4-1 Tickets to BODY AWARENESS at Actor's Theatre

Location

Annie Baker’s Body Awareness asks two simple questions for any relationship – in this case between two lesbians, one with a child most likely affected by Asperger’s Syndrome – “What if our loved ones are the people least likely to accept us for who we want to be? And what if the best we all can do is try to keep living together anyway?”

Baker’s play, which follows Actors Theatre’s presentation of her Circle Mirror Transformation last year, takes place during "Body Awareness" week on a Vermont college campus in Shirley, Vermont.  Phyllis (Amanda Melby), the organizer, and her partner, Joyce (Maria Amorocho), are hosting one of the guest artists in their home, Frank (Ian Christiansen), a photographer famous for his female nude portraits. Both his presence in the home and his chosen subject instigate tension from the start. The conflict boils over as Joyce starts bleaching, plucking and primping in preparation for a naked photo shoot. Phyllis quickly blows a feminist gasket. As the two bicker, Joyce’s son, Jared (Will Hightower) who may have Asperger’s Syndrome, struggles to express himself physically with heartbreaking results.
