Playhouse 615
Playhouse 615, an arts organization and event space, is managed by two local theatre veterans: Ann Street-Kavanagh and Joel Meriwether. Between them, they have over sixty years of experience in live performance. Ann is serving as Managing Director and will be teaching acting classes and one-on-one coaching. She is also the Artistic Director for Mischief Makers, the children’s theatre in residence. Joel is Artistic Director for The Ensemble, the adult acting troupe, within the Playhouse 615 umbrella. Our black box theatre seats up to 60. Our space is also available to rent for rehearsals, productions, classes, and events.

Winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play, God of Carnage relates an evening in the lives of two couples, residents of a tony Brooklyn neighborhood, who meet to discuss a playground incident. Alan and Annette’s son hit Michael and Veronica’s son in the face with a stick, resulting in two broken teeth. The four of them agree to discuss the incident civilly, but, as the night wears on and drinks are imbibed, the polite veneer breaks down. The couples initially spar against each other, but the men gang up on the women and the spouses switch sides as the fighting continues. Reza’s play suggests that our civilized trappings do a poor job of hiding our venality and bile.

Starring Wanderson Rezende, Beth Henderson, Ben Gregory, & Abby Waddoups.
Directed by Diane Bearden (Sugar Bean Sisters, 39 Steps, Lysistrata)
