SANTA FE — New Mexico Actors Lab (NMAL) will open the second production of its 2023 season on June 7 with prolific English playwright Simon Stephens’ 2021 play, Morning Sun.
The production will run through Sunday, June 25.
In Greenwich Village, the city is alive. Joni Mitchell sings, friends and lovers come and go, and the regulars change at the White Horse Tavern. As fifty years pass, one woman’s life is revealed in all its complexity, mystery, and possibility.
With a script that New York Magazine calls “a showcase for bravura performances”, the play offers beloved Santa Fe actors Suzanne Lederer, Debrianna Mansini and Vanessa Rios y Valles the opportunity to shine. Robert Benedetti and Kent Kirkpatrick will co-direct this production of Stephens’ play, which Theatremania described as “a piece with so many rich particulars that it evokes countless universals.”
Director Benedetti says, “This loving play about mothers and daughters has a dream cast of three of our favorite actors. It will be performed in a full round seating configuration we have never used before.”
Playwright Stephens won both the Tony and Olivier Best Play awards for his adaptation of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.
