The Garden

Andrew Cronacher and Addie Horan in THE GARDEN by Peter Gunter
Andrew Cronacher and Addie Horan in THE GARDEN by Peter Gunter

Well, it was nothing less than a sell out for Peter Gunter’s new play THE GARDEN at Live Arts last week.  Produced by Ray Nedzel and the NPP — part of what is now Whole Theatre.

A four day run had the audience on it’s feet. Addie Horan and Andrew Cronacher performed the roles of this two character play with high caliber acting – both are destined for theatrical success.

The play had been presented first to the NPP 18 months ago and throughout the following year and a half Peter rewrote it extensively with feedback from every member of the the NPP group and the community of artists and supporters who listened to table readings, staged readings, and open discussions.

All were rewarded by the fine production this July in the Upstage.

If you missed it, sorry. If you saw it, I’m sure you agree.
