Still
by Lia Romeo
Lost love is rekindled in this funny, heartbreaking, sexy, smart and timely story, when a couple who broke up in their 30s get a second chance at love in their 60s. If you’ve ever found yourself staring at an ex’s picture and wondering, “What if?”—this one’s for you.
But what do you do when you love someone, but hate some of the things they believe?” Is rekindled love enough to overcome your differences? Second chances are given, secrets are exposed, and an avocado goes flying in the Maine premiere of this recent Off-Broadway hit and Outer Critics Circle nominee for Best New American Play. Timely and compelling, you’ll be talking about this show all the way home.
Still is “PG-13”
More about the play
Off-Broadway hit STILL opens at The Public Theatre
What do you do when you love someone, but hate some things they believe?
Lost love is rekindled in the funny, heartbreaking, sexy and smart new play STILL, playing Jan 30 – Feb 8, when a couple who broke up in their 30s get another chance at love in their 60s.
Secrets are exposed, second chances are given, and an avocado goes flying in the Maine premiere of this recent Off-Broadway hit and Outer Critics Circle nominee for Best New American Play. Compelling and provocative, you’ll be talking about this show all the way home.
Part love story, part fly on the wall conversation so many of us are having, STILL takes you on an entertaining journey filled with unexpected plot twists and surprises.
Playwright Lia Romeo will be joining the Sunday, Feb 1 post-show discussion with the director and actors to answer audience questions and share her insights about the play.
Stepping into the roles of former lovers Mark and Helen will be Equity actors Joe Gately and Janet Mitchko. Joe and Janet previously appeared together at The Public Theatre in Good People and are thrilled to be reunited onstage. Joe has appeared onstage in New York and at various regional theatres from Colorado to Vermont, as well as on television in Blue Bloods and Blacklist among others. Janet has been at the artistic helm of The Public Theatre for the past 33 seasons acting, directing and building the theatre from its infancy. Prior to life in Maine, Janet was an actress, director, voiceover talent and acting teacher in New York City. Some of her favorite roles at The Public include Enchanted April, Educating Rita, Terra Nova and The Glass Menagerie.
Directing STILL will be Mark Routhier. Mark directed and ran the new play development at The NOLA Project in New Orleans, Orlando Shakespeare Theatre, Magic Theatre in San Francisco, and was Lit Chair for the National New Play Network.
The set for STILL is designed by Chad LeFebvre, lighting by Michael Reidy and costumes by Kevin Hutchins.
