A unique ensemble of actors comes together under the sophisticated direction of Karin Coonrod to bring to life Flannery O'Connor's short story "Everything that Rises Must Converge".  O'Connor, one of the most admired writers of the 20th century, showed her mastery of language and understanding of social behavior in more than thirty short stories; here, Coonrod brilliantly re-assigns the text to eight actors who breathe and move as one in this tragicomic tale of America's deep south.

StageBuddy got to sit in on rehearsal and chat with Coonrod and the ensemble of actors Jacquie Antaramian, D"Ambrose Boyd, Ayeje Feamster, Abigail Killeen, Julienne Kim, Christopher McClinden, Randolph Curtis Rand and Carlton Taylor about the process of becoming an ensemble, their limited rehearsal time and O'Connor's continued relevance to modern audiences.

The production's national tour will end in a performance at Little Red/Elizabeth Irwin High School (40 Charlton Street) on April 16th at 8pm; all tickets are free.  Visit colombari.org to reserve your seat.
