Local playwright opens show at 6th Street
(Dan Taylor on the fine arts scene - Press Democrat)
By Gene Abravaya
Directed by Tim Kniffin
World Premiere Comedy
Gretchen Manning helped create “The Promising Dawn,” a long running soap opera, and has been its star since the show began. But the show's ratings are not what they once were, and now it's time for a change. Join her and this wonderfully funny cast of characters on the studio set as they confront their final scene.
This is Sonoma County playwright, Gene Abravaya's second full-length play following closely on the footsteps of his critically acclaimed, Book of Matthew, which premiered at Pacific Alliance Theater in 2008.
CAST: Featuring Tice Allison, Kendall Carroll, Peter Downey, Julia Hoff, Paul Huberty, Freddie Lambert, Rebekah Patti, Eric Thompson, Jennifer Weil,* Jacquelyn Wells and Matthew Witthaus.

Reviews
"Tim Kniffin directs this delightful show...a glimpse of what goes on behind the television cameras when a soap opera episode goes awry. (Cari Lynn Pace - Curtain Up/For All Events, Member SFBATCC)
"' The Final Scene,' the brand new play by Gene Abravaya is one of the best comedies I have read or seen in a while.....excellent cast, with the help of the superb direction, was able to find humor in reality, not parody.....the opening night audience were roaring in laughter." (Paul Webb - Neighborhood Now)
" 'The Final Scene' (by Gene Abravaya) is a lively, surprise-filled comic romp with some very uniquely creative twists..standout characterizations....a pleasurable glimpse into the mechanics of daytime drama in the 1980s. 'The Final Scene' fully justifies the sense of eager anticipation that always surrounds world premieres." (Greg & Suzanne Angeo - For All Events)
