ANNAPURNA BEGINS
“Annapurna,” Perseverance Theatre’s next performance, begins May 6 in Juneau.
“Twenty years ago,” says the synopsis, “Emma walked out on her husband, cowboy-poet Ulysses, in the middle of a night that he can’t remember and she will never forget. He’s in trouble and living alone when she discovers him in the wilds of a low-rent Colorado trailer park. She finds him hooked to an oxygen tank, working on an epic poem and cooking breakfast in the buff. Their bizarre reunion contains both rage and compassion, framing a story that rides the fine line of tragedy and comedy, laughter and loss.”
The cast features Rebecca George and Kevin T. Bennett; the play was written by Sharr White.
Opening night is Friday, May 6 at 7:30 p.m. Pay as you can previews are Wednesday and Thursday, May 4 and 5, at 7:30 p.m.; additional pay-as-you-can performances are Sunday, May 8 at 4 p.m. and Thursday, May 12 at 7:30 p.m. For more information, go to www.ptalaska.org.
