Westport Country Playhouse (Joanne Woodward and Anne Keefe, artistic directors, Jodi Schoenbrun Carter, managing director) will stage a masterful blend of comedy and drama, “The Pavilion,” by Craig Wright, award-winning playwright and Emmy-nominated writer/producer of television’s “Lost,” “Six Feet Under” and “Dirty Sexy Money.” Directed by Chad Rabinovitz, Playhouse artistic associate, the production will run from May 13 through May 31.
“The Pavilion,” a 2005-2006 Drama Desk Award nominee for Outstanding Play, is a funny and touching look into human relationships on a cosmic scale. Peter and Kari, who were the Class of 1988’s Cutest Senior Couple. In high school, it seemed like everything in the universe worked to make their happiness possible. But at the end of senior year, Kari got pregnant and Peter ran off. Two decades later, the two have not seen each other since the day Peter left…and now he’s come to their 20th high school reunion to get her back.
Tracy Middendorf of Westport will portray Kari. Her stage performances include “Ah, Wilderness” at Lincoln Center Theater, and “Summer and Smoke” and “After the Fall” at The Fountain Theatre in Los Angeles, both of which earned her Ovation and Drama Critics Circle Awards for Best Actress. Her television credits include “Lost,” “24,” “House,” “Alias,” “The Practice” and “Six Feet Under,” and her most recent film, “Just Add Water” with Danny DeVito, will be released this spring.
