EVERYTHING THAT RISES MUST CONVERGE by Flannery O’Connor and created for the stage by Karin Coonrod is a tragic-comic interracial seat shifting dance by whites and blacks on a moving bus in America’s deep south. Playing and speaking out the story verbatim, eight Colombari actors with razor sharp precision create all the characters and all the narration. Georgia’s red earth is slammed up against the eternal. O’Connor’s voice spread out across the company of actors carries the power of the apocalyptic comedy right into the audience.
EVERYTHING THAT RISES MUST CONVERGE was developed at the University of Iowa, Sundance Theatre Lab and premiered at New York Theatre Workshop (2001).
The production stars Jacquie Antaramian* (Best Leading Actress, Barrymore Award for Nine Parts of Desire), D’Ambrose Boyd*, Ayeje Feamster*, Abigail Killeen* (Best Actress, PEER Award for Macbeth), Julienne Kim* (B’way: Metamorphoses, Golden Child), Christopher McLinden* (Outstanding Performance, After Dark Award for Vincent in Brixton), Randolph Curtis Rand* (Obie Award Winner for Painted Snake in a Painted Chair) and Carlton Taylor* (performed Best Original Song, “Raise It Up”, at the 80th Annual Academy Awards).
The production features costume design by Oana Botez (Drammy Award, Princess Grace Award, Barrymore Award, NEA/TCG Career Development Program, Henry Hewes Design Award Nomination, Barrymore Award Nomination) and lighting design by Chris Akerlind (Obie Award 2000 for King John, Tony Award for Light in the Piazza).
