​In a universe of infinite possibilities, what version of your story are you living?

“Rabbit Hole,” which takes to the little stage at the Barrow-Civic Theatre starting next weekend, offers an exploration of a part of the human experience that is difficult to discuss - how to move on from tragedy.
​
Written by David Lindsey-Abaire, the play tells the story of Becca and Howie Corbett, a couple with everything a family could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down and leaves them drifting perilously apart.

​The play charts their bittersweet search for comfort in the darkest of places and for a path that will lead them back into the light of day.

Part of the Off-Barrow Series, “Rabbit Hole” will be performed in the Little Theatre which offers an intimate setting for the audience that draws them into the emotions of the show.

​The show is a mix of humor, grief, frustration and guilt with a touch of wine and a lot of baked goods.

“Those not familiar with the show might be surprised by the relatability of the characters and the connection they will feel to the story. Despite the small cast, each audience member is likely to find a reflection in the story,” said show director Jill Harry. “We can experience the same trauma and process it simultaneously but differently. ‘Rabbit Hole’ examines that journey and our need for healing when the unthinkable has happened.”
​
Cast members include Elizabeth Williams of Franklin as Becca, Evan O’Polka of Franklin as Howie, Cindy Heffern of Oil City as Nat, Kachina Earhart of Franklin as Izzy, and Nate Boley of Cooperstown as Jason.

The show is produced by Nick Hess and Kristy Moore.

There will be five performances - 7:30 p.m. on August 8, 15 and 16; and 2 p.m. on August 10 and 17. (Note: there is no show on August 9.)

​Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at barrowtheatre.org or by calling the box office at 814-437-3440.

Audience should take note that the show features some adult language.
