And Then...


Coming to the Carriage House Theatre on March 12, 13, 19 and 20, are two one act plays written and directed by David Eliet, featuring Bob Jaffe and Laura Hitt. David Eliet was my instructor at the Trinity Repertory Company, Laura Hitt was in my class, and Bob Jaffe is a very good local actor. All in all, it looks to be a pretty excellent evening of theatre!


The first one act Day After Day After Day was the winner of the 2002 Whip City Radio Drama Award. The play involves an Old Man and an Old Woman trying to reconstruct the exact events of the day that changed their lives and bound them together forever. The second play, Shadows 1959 is based on the true story of Jan Flimel, a Slovak businessman, who rescued over 200 Jewish people during The Holocaust. Following the war Jan was disappeared for two years by the Communist Government, which refused to even acknowledge that he was being held as a prisoner. After his release, Jan waged his own private war against the shadows that shrouded Czechoslovakia and the other Eastern Block countries. Shadows 1959 , which is the second part of a longer work,Two Fugues and an Aria, was presented at the Denver Theatre Center's TheatreFest 2001 and has been produced at Engagement Arts in New York City.

And Then... will be presented at the Carriage House Theatre on March 12, 13, 19 and 20 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets cost $15.00 and can be be reserved by calling (401) 831-9479. The Carriage House Theatre is located at 9 Duncan Avenue in Providence, off North Main Street.
