The Warren hosts regional premiere of Autobahn
By: Dan Hylton 07/01/2008
In what is a coup for the arts in Camden, The Warren: An Artist Habitat will be playing host to a talented cast of Twin Cities actors as they perform Neil LaBute’s Autobahn from July 10 to July 26.
Autobahn is an intimate, compelling, and frequently funny play about the secret lives people have within the confines of their cars; a short play that captures laughter, love, sorrow, angst and hate. Stripping away the trappings of modern theatrical spectacle, this Kaleidoscope Theatre/Workhouse Theatre joint production explores a pact between theatrical audience and performers that LaBute refers to as “…the most elemental and beautiful in all the arts: the willing suspension of belief.”
Autobahn features appearances by numerous faces that have graced the Workhouse stage over the past two seasons, including Workhouse Theatre company members Jeff Redman, Valerie Borey, and Chris McGahan. A portion of the proceeds, including all ticket sales from a performance on July 10, will be donated to Cars for Courage.
Autobahn will be performed July 10, 11, 12, 21, 25 and 26 at 7:30 p.m.; with two matinees on July 13 and July 26 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 at the door, reserved at 612-644-7827 or kaleidoscope.theatre.co@gmail.com. All performances are at The Warren, 4400 Osseo Road.
