Porter's Will

Written by: Monica Bauer
Directed by John FitzGibbon
Cast: Randall Rodriguez, John Fico, and Bailey Newman

May of 2020, a mysterious billionaire hires two young actors from a famous acting studio to live in his mansion and provide him with performances. He's dying of cancer, not COVID, but he knows he will die before lockdowns end. He needs to come to terms with death, and requests specific scenes to help him, both dramatic and comic. The young genius actor, Jimmy, is trying desperately to make his leading lady in this venture fall for him. She is trying to decide between an uncomfortable life in the theater, or making another path. Old wounds and new wounds collide as they all make their way towards a moment of grace and understanding.

Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways: by a single performer embodying a whole host of characters; by a more experimental theater piece "done differently" that challenges and delights; by a cozy two-person show exploring relationships; or perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.

NO REFUNDS will be granted.
