The West Coast Premiere of Lovely Day, by award-winning New York playwright Leslie Ayvazian. Playwright in attendance at May 7th & 8th performances.
The Hapgood will close its inaugural season with the West Coast Premiere of Lovely Day, by award-winning New York playwright Leslie Ayvazian. Ms. Ayvazian will be in attendance for opening night and the reception that follows, and will give a talkback immediately following the performance on Thursday, May 8th. Both events are free with the price of admission.
As Fran and Martin celebrate their wedding anniversary, they learn of a military recruiter’s visit to their only son’s high school. Faced with the prospect of his enlistment, they find themselves on opposite sides of one of the most pressing questions of our time.
“These are real people dealing with big but troubling issue that have personal consequences. Ayvazian balances her characters with case, attempting to offer equal weight to conflicting perspectives...She understands that silence and stillness can be more eloquent than words and movement.”
