Coronado Playhouse streams their third show in the 2021 season, which is the 75th season for the Coronado Playhouse. “Constellations,” by Nick Payne is directed by Samuel Young. While an interesting and thought provoking scenario, iw Wasn’t exactly my “cup of tea” as I’m more of a light and fluffy entertainment person. But for those fans out there who love to go deep, this one is for you.
Constellations takes a chance encounter between two people and offers up multi versions of scenarios based on the choices made by each person. Four different actors, two males and two females play the two roles. A bit complex, it is fascinating to see the outcome of simple choices. Language is rated R, for those of you with young ones in the house. The show runs approximately seventy minutes.
Timothy R. Benson and Russell Clements, take turns as Roland, Kylie Young and Heather Warren as Marianne. The showcasing of different characteristics between the decisions made between characters was a difficult acting endeavor and was extremely well done.
The streaming fees alone are not enough to finance the theater. Please consider making a donation.
