The University of Winnipeg's Theatre and Film Department presents FROM UP HERE by Liz Flahive Apr 4 – 8 in the ACTF Theatre.
Kenny Barrett did something that has everyone worried. He wishes he could just make it through the rest of his senior year unnoticed, but that's going to be hard since he has to publicly apologize to his entire high school. At home, his mother is struggling with a rocky start to her second marriage and a surprise visit from her estranged sister. FROM UP HERE is about a family limping out the door in the morning and coming home no matter what.
Originally produced at the Manhattan Theatre Club in 2008, FROM UP HERE was nominated for the 2008 Drama Desk Award for New Play and won the John Gassner Award for Playwriting by the Outer Critics Circle in 2006.
FROM UP HERE is a production entirely designed, crewed and performed by senior theatre students including a set full of secrets designed by Julia Anderson, costumes by A. Viatrox, lighting by Anika Binding, and performances by the students of our Honour IV Acting class.
FROM UP HERE opens April 4 and runs through to April 8, with shows starting at 7:30 pm each evening at the Asper Centre for Theatre and Film. Admission is free, but reservations are recommended.
