CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED COMEDY "WAKE" HAS WEST COAST PREMIERE AT FREMONT CENTRE THEATRE IN SOUTH PASADENA, CA

WAKE, written by New
York-based Carey Crim, will have its west
coast premiere presented by LA’s critically acclaimed SeaGlass Theatre company Saturday,
April 26 through Sunday, May 25, 2014 at the beautiful Fremont Centre

Theatre in South Pasadena, CA, it was
announced today by Ovation nominated actor and SeaGlass Theatre Managing
Director Paul Stroili, along with SeaGlass Artistic Director Kimberly Van Luin.  WAKE’S five
all-star member ensemble will feature Nancy Berggren, Alison Blanchard, Michael Connors, Allie
Costa, and Lauren McCormack.  Matt Kirkwood has been set to direct.

Following SeaGlass Theatre’s 2012 critically acclaimed production of A
Christmas Twist; Steven Berkoff’s Kvetch in 2011; their Steinbeck
spoof Of Grapes and Nuts in 2010; David Lindsay-Abaire’s Wonder
of the World (2009), and their initial 2008 co-production of How
Cissy Grew (starring SeaGlass Board Member James Denton of Desperate Housewives), WAKE is
a soulful, heartfelt comedy about life
and death and everything in between: Molly
Harrison, an agoraphobic mortician, has been anchored to the safety of her
funeral home for over three years. Her vivacious mother and precocious teenage
daughter try in their own humorous ways to help her take that first step down
the front walk, including hypnosis, sensory-overload therapy and a trip to
Moscow. But in the end, Molly must realize what is truly important in her life
before the power of love can finally inspire her to embrace the world again. 

WAKE had its world premiere at Detroit’s distinguished
and nationally recognized Purple Rose Theatre in 2009. Ms. Crim’s most recent
play, Conviction, has been selected
as the final play in the Rubicon Theatre’s 2013-14 season in Ventura, CA.
