SUNDOWN, YELLOW MOON

Written by Rachel Bonds

Music and Lyrics by The Bengsons

Additional Lyrics by Rachel Bonds

Produced by Ars Nova & WP Theater

Directed by Anne Kauffman

Costumes by Jessica Pabst

Lighting by Matt Frey & Isabella Byrd

Sound by Leah Gelpe

 

McGinn/Cazale Theater

 

"There’s a unique poetry in the scenic design by Lauren Helpern. The vertical set includes a forest of trees, cut from wood. As this pared down drama progresses – with scenes from family life in the kitchen and tiny living room – the towering trees seem less overwhelming and serve more like a dramatic backdrop. The rustic, authentic quality seems appropriate."

-- Theaterpizzazz.com

"The beautiful set design (by Lauren Helpern) and evocative lighting (Isabella Byrd and Matt Frey) keep us firmly rooted in a southern-feeling space that is somehow both cozy and menacing."

-- Exeunt Magazine

 

"They are all between chapters in their lives, steeped in the tension that arises when both future and past seem vague and menacing. This aura suffuses every aspect of the production, including Lauren Helpern’s stylized woodland set; Isabella Byrd and Matt Frey’s crepuscular lighting and Leah Gelpe’s sound, which abounds in the susurrus of crickets."
