A L etter from the A rtistic D irector
Dear friends – Thanks for coming out to see our production of The Thin Place . This is a very different play than we have produced before. It is, at its heart, an eerie ghost story that felt scary when I read it and made me curious to see what kind of impact it would have on you. The play also made me curious about mediumship, which is a subject that is rarely, if ever, discussed onstage. It is a strange profession, if one can call it that, and got me thinking about how someone finds their way into that kind of work. I kept wondering if what they do is real or an illusion, and whether it really matters if the impact they make provides hope and closure for people that need it most. As I spoke to friends about the topic prior to deciding to produce the play, I found that it prompted a juicy and polarizing discussion. I look forward to hearing what kind of discussions it prompts for you. Enjoy the show,
Cristina Alicea Artistic Director
