Acting Out

by Chuck Borkhuis

In “Acting Out,” memories of what never happened start to eclipse what did as two middle-aged actors, Joseph and Alice, dredge up Joseph’s past infidelities and their teenage daughter Amy’s suicide. When their son Jamie and his girlfriend Ali arrive unexpectedly, all four try to act as a normal, functioning family, but Joseph and Alice can’t stop acting out their unresolved sexual conflicts with the kids.

For access to the theatres, take the REAR elevator to the 1st Floor, or use the 2nd set of glass doors (closer to 9th Avenue) and walk up one flight of stairs. There is no access to the theatres from the front elevator. The rear elevator opens 1 hour prior to curtain.
