What We've Done So Far - PAST PRODUCTIONS
IN THE EBB, is a series of three original one acts, I Like You to Marlowe, The Ebb, and St. James in the Field of Stars.
The three one acts are meant to be performed together. Each show alone
deals with issues of loss and fear from the female perspective.
Although each one act has a different female lead, these three
characters’ different paths converge around similar concerns as the
protagonists face issues such as loss and the threat of loss, love and
the hazards of love, and the ways in which preventing the loss and
maintaining the love of oneself may be the greatest challenges of all.
IN THE EBB opened at The Sage Theater on September 18, 2008 and ran through October 4, 2008. All nine performances went beyond our expectations. The professionalism and talent of our amazing cast not only gave every audience member an evening to remember but also laid the groundwork for what we hope will be the beginnings of a company of players for future GTTP Productions. For everyone who saw IN THE EBB, we thank you for your support. And, for those who missed it this time around, we hope to be mounting another production of the show some time in the future.
