At the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater. |
Bridge to February Theater
Ibsen's Bastards, Women Behind Bars and More
January 30th, 2010
The curtain never closes on theater in Provincetown, which counts among its many identities a history as the birthplace of modern American theater.
| Counter Productions is also poised to stage its second production for 2010 - Tom Eyen's Women Behind Bars - at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater during February. |

That goes back to when Eugene O’Neill and the New Provincetown Players staged plays on a Provincetown wharf, stitching the first beads of a theatrical thread that continues today with writers, actors, drag queens, comedians and other performers.
In February, while many other venues rest in winter’s hibernation, the Provincetown Theater and the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater keep the entertainment embers burning.
Ibsen’s Bastards, a play by Bill Plott, will be read at the Provincetown Theater on Feb. 3 as part of its Wednesday night Winter Reading Series. Set in a Minnesota farmhouse in 1898, the play begins with a prologue recalling a young Henrick Ibsen’s youthful indiscretion. The cast includes Ian Sanders-Fleming, Nikki Wing, Christine Bachman and R.W. Griffeth.
Up next in the series are Identity Crisis by Peter Snoad on Feb. 10, Dead and Buried by James McLindon on Feb. 17 and Hawthorn and Melville by Carl A. Rossi on Feb. 24.
Counter Productions is also poised to stage its second production for 2010 at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater during February.
Titled Women Behind Bars, the play by Tom Eyen is a hilarious satire of 50s B movies, which follows an innocent’s entry into a Woman’s House of Detention in Greenwich Village. A review by The New York Times dubbed it “Grade A tom foolery.”
The play, directed by Patrick Falco, is being staged at the Harbor Actors Theater from Feb. 12 to 28 on the weekends.
