T-Minus 315 Days, 9 Hours, and 58 Minutes...

Roger that, we are go for launch.

It's official. Curtain Players Theater has chosen the play DARKSIDE by Ken Jones as one of its six main productions for its 44th season.

What if there had been an Apollo 18? One more trip, a few more small steps and giant leaps...what if? Darkside centers around an astronaut, Bill Griffin as he orbits the moon on this imaginative journey. Somewhere on the lunar surface, his crew mates, Ed and Gunner, sit in their lunar module, potentially stranded after a routine launch misfires. As Bill repeatedly orbits around to the dark side of the moon, we get flashes to the weeks and months prior to the launch and see the surprising events leading up to this mission. It's a suspense thriller at its core as Ed and Gunner work with NASA to save themselves as Bill can only wait, along with the audience, to find out their fate as he comes to terms with his own past and mistakes.

Now that we've captured your interest, it should be known that the curtain is slated to rise in March 2007. That may seem pretty far away, but we've already assembled and top-notch crew to prepare and throughout this year, we'll be busy getting everything in place so that by the time we get to the auditions (January 7 & 8, 2007), we can focus on casting a solid group of actors and putting on another amazing eight nights of theatre at Curtain Players.

Stay tuned for our continuing adventures.
