SageA new play by Darrin Ingram
Presented through special arrangement with Conejo Players Readers' Theatre and special permission from Next Stage Press
Directed by: Darrin Ingram
Produced by: Scott Quintard and Paul Babb
A slice of life piece, set in a park, where the central characters, a retired widower and an autistic park keeper, navigate the personalities and challenges of the park regulars. When tragedy strikes one of their own, how will they overcome their differences to bring hope to those who need it most?
From the author:
“My hope was to create a show that focused on finding authentic human connections amid adversity, regardless of inherent differences,” commented Ingram. “As the father of an autistic child, it was important to show that it is our differences that should be cherished and it is our uniqueness that elevates our relationships with one another.”
Please note: This play explores profound and thought-provoking themes relevant to mature audiences. It also contains language that may be considered offensive to some individuals. Viewer discretion is advised to ensure a comfortable and appropriate viewing experience.
