Outward Bound

by Sutton Vane

directed by Erin Klarner

Performances: Oct 27 - Nov 12, 2023

Fri & Sat at 8pm; Sun at 2pm

THE STORY: The year is 1923. Seven passengers meet in the saloon bar of a ship as it sets sail from an unidentified port. Socialite Mrs. Cliveden-Banks is on her way to join her husband, a Colonel in the army; Mr. Lingley has important business in Marseilles; charlady Mrs. Midget is making her first passage by sea; Reverend William Duke is looking forward to a holiday, while Tom Prior intends to spend the journey in the ship’s saloon bar. Also on board are Henry and Ann, a young couple who seem anxious for the ship to leave port. But the travelers have more in common than they dare suspect. Out at sea, an eerie calm settles over the ship as Tom is the first to discover the fate which awaits his fellow passengers …  

Outward Bound explores mortality and morality with light touches of social commentary and gallows humor.

Costumes - Costumes

Spotlighters was informed by Building Management that they needed one of our Set & Furniture storage rooms for "building use" ... so for the past 2 weeks board members and volunteers have been feverishly sorting and purging items from our Costume Room.

We have to have the set pieces moved by midnight, Sun, October, 15, 2023. YES -- next Sunday!

We have a huge collection of costumes. Some will go to House of Bankerd for use by area theatres, some will go to GoodWill and Savers and community shelters.

BUT - we wanted to offer some items to other theatres that might be growing their costume stock or individual actors that are looking to increase their personal costume stock, or cosplayers, or just anyone out there!

So ... Two things:

Sorting Assistance

One we anyone familiar with costumes/clothing to assist in sorting items this week; and ... Email [email protected] and we will connect you with when board members or others are working in costumes.

Costume Sale

We need for theatres and individuals to come out on Saturday, Oct 14 from 10am to 4pm to check out what we have for sale.
