OPENING THIS WEEKEND

Directed by David Henderson

Weekends, March 29th – April 21st
Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM, Sundays at 2:00 PM

Upper West Side empty nesters Ken and Cynthia hit a deer while driving to
their weekend house in the Poconos. Cynthia tries desperately to nurse
the dead animal back to life as Ken fights for his first weekend alone with his wife
in twenty-five years. As their lifeless, bloody new pet takes over their lives,
Ken and Cynthia will either rekindle their love or kill each other.
Deer is a grisly play about normal people who snap.

Adult Language/Themes
