SUMMARY:Six Feet by Melanie Hoopes
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 17\n8 PM EDT\nZOOM link will be provided to registrants the day before the performance\nDoctor\, caterer\, therapist\, lover. It’s been 217 days since the virus changed their lives. At 6 PM (Hawaii time)\, they’ll meet on ZOOM to discuss a tragic event that connects them all. But will this call tear them apart? \nRiverArts has commissioned an original\, innovative play to be performed live on ZOOM. Written and directed by Melanie Hoopes (Netflix’s Bloodline\, Here’s the Thing hosted by Alec Baldwin)\, SIX FEET is full of tension\, intimacy\, and a cathartic\, biting clarity. It’s a play about confronting emotions that are made more raw\, volatile\, and intense the more they are confined. It shows us what happens when we rely on flat\, 2D interactions to communicate things that are so much bigger than the spaces we inhabit. \nWritten and Directed by Melanie Hoopes.
