A Burial Place
By Owen Panettieri Directed by Elizabeth Floyd March 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 at 7:30 pm March 17 at 3:00 pm DC Arts Center 2438 18th St NW Washington, DC 20009 Following a rough sophomore year at college, Emmett, Colby and Marcus were hoping to reunite at home for a fun night of beers and laughs at their annual summer sleepover. Instead, they come back to find their town at the epicenter of a major police investigation. A gruesome discovery out in the woods where they used to play has resulted in public outrage and a growing list of unanswered questions. What's been found out there could be connected to an incident involving Marcus from years earlier, but if the boys go in search of the truth now, it may only pull them apart forever. Some secrets, no matter how far you push them down, never find a place to rest. Run Time: 100 Minutes, no intermission |
