Actor’s Express a Gem

by

One of my favorite theaters for its intimate size and provocative selection of plays, Actor’s Express in King Plow Arts Center finishes its 27th season with The Whale and a reimagined version of Rent. 

In The Whale, Artistic Director Freddie Ashley plays reclusive 600-pound Charlie, bent on self-destruction, yet desperate to reconnect with his daughter. Freddie steps off stage to direct a reimagined version of Rent, the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning musical about young artists in New York City’s East Village, struggling to make it.

The Whale plays through June 14; Rent runs from July 10 to August 9.
