Buffalo, NY--Proud to be entering a fourth season, American Rep Theater of WNY is saluting the Golden Age of American Television with a theatrical rendition of the classic TV Sci-Fi meets Morality Play series, Twilight Zone. Adapted for stage by Drew McCabe, Twilight Zone Redux takes a fresh look at three stories from the mind of Rod Serling with McCabe's careful attention to both the underlying pathos of characters and the unique style of writing which made this series and Serling legendary.
Three stories to be feature include "Nick of Time", "Denton on Doomsday" and the timeless "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet".
"Nick of Time" features a newly-wed couple stuck in the middle of nowhere when their car breaks down. Their stay at a local diner with badly burnt cheese-sandwiches turns more bizarre when the couple discovers a fortune-telling machine that becomes strangely accurate.
"Denton on Doomsday" presents us with a wash-up cowgirl with aspirations to make something of herself. After she encounters the odd whistling Dr. Fate and receives a mysterious potion, she becomes the fastest gunslinger in the West.
Perhaps the most well-known and most intense story (that featured in the original TV program William Shatner) "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" has a salesman, Bob Wilson, recovering from a nervous breakdown who finds himself on a plane face to face with terror.
American Rep Theater of WNY is excited about the season and will be working in a new space as the company partnerships with Buffalo East. Matthew LaChiusa, Executive/Artistic Director had this to say about the alliance. "Working with Verneice Turner owner of Buffalo East, will provide stability to ART as we enter into our 2010-11 season." LaChiusa continued. "The vision in which Ms. Turner has for Buffalo East and the path ART is following are similar and through this we hope to build upon in seasons to come." American Rep Theater of WNY plans to have two more productions in the space throughout the 2010-11 season.
