New Year’s Eve at Grandma’s House is a one-act play set in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1960. But to bring back that time and place, we’re renting the famed Piven Theater in Evanston for our April 13 performance.
Here’s what the empty stage looks like. As you can see, audience members will be on two sides as the performance takes place, helping them to feel that they are in grandma’s dining room along with the fabled Smaldone family.
Tickets are being sold without assigned seating, so arrive early to pick out your seats. Performances are tentatively scheduled for 6 p.m and 8 p.m, Saturday, April 13, 2013. E-mail us here for ticket information.
Please note, this is not a Piven production, Evanston’s 2nd Act Players are renting the facility from Piven for the evening. Do not contact Piven for performance or other information about this show. But do stop by this blog often to see the latest and to read what’s going on behind the scenes.
