Event Information

OnStage Playhouse opens the 2023 Season with the story of a teenager who flees to her reclusive uncle’s retreat in the Costa Rican jungle to escape the aftermath of a horrific accident. The week they spend together forces them both to confront who they are as well as what it is they are running from. Director Darvas says, “Mr. Pierce has written a subtle, honest, and beautiful play. "Slowgirl" will speak to a wide array of audience members and strike a chord in the hearts of our guests who always reminisced about what could’ve been if certain things in the past were different. "Slowgirl" challenges us as a viewer of art on stage: Who we are… who we were… and who we may become. The themes in "Slowgirl" embody our mission as theatre makers, and we're certain your ride home will be filled with incredible discussions!”
