So Human, So Fall River

Friday night was theater night at the Narrows, featuring Children or Liars, a romantic drama that was soooooo Fall River.

David Splinter, a Narrows volunteer, is the writer and director, and the leads of the play are Sherry Marques, a RI College student, and UMASS Dartmouth undergrad Kevin Steinhauser. That's them mooning for the camera up above.

This is a workshop production--meaning the script is still evolving. So after the show, our guy David Splinter and the cast sat down and got feedback from the audience. That's David Splinter over on the left shortly after Friday night's performance.

Children or Liars follows what happens when "Debra" and "Ivan," who like to lie a lot, meet after their cars are involved in a mishap. It's funny, sexy, sad, pathetic and engrossing. And if you happen to live in the Scholarship City, you'll recognize these characters and many of their references. It's all soooo Fall River.

You too can enjoy the show, because it's playing Saturday night at 8 at the Narrows. Since the Narrows is mill space--or, as some call it, a loft--you can have that down-by-the-docks-abandoned-burnt out-warehouse theatrical experience that might be called off off Broadway.

Congrats to David, Kevin, Sherry and the whole ensemble, including musicians Jon Reagan and Kevin Koteles, who provided original music for the production.
