Passage Theatre offers perfect seats for people-watching ‘Dauphin Island’ cast
Not really sworn to secrecy regarding “Dauphin Island” now playing at Passage Theatre in Trenton although a slip of the tongue or smidgeon of information drop could serve as a spoiler.
So, not much to say except that everyone should observe the Jeffrey Chastang play directed by Amina Robinson. An opening-night Saturday performance attracted a packed house for a play that allows fish-tank perspectives for audience members.
Revealing crucial secrets, segues and suspicions remains the most difficult task of offering review for “Dauphin Island”. The plot involves Selwyn Tate en route to his new Alabama-based job, a journey interrupted by car troubles.
Tate stumbles upon Kendra and from their introduction until final words, Chastang pulls audiences into an emotional experience of chutes and ladders.
The two-person show features Shadana Patterson (Kendra) and SJ Hannah (Selwyn) for a play that runs Oct. 10-27 for the Trenton Barrymore Awardwinning professional theatre company
Performances at Passage Theatre are Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m. for a that play that ends Oct. 27.
Tickets are $13 - $33 ($38 Saturday night). Student, group and senior discounts available. To purchase tickets, call (609) 392-0766, or visit www.passagetheatre.org.
