Sundog Theatre enjoyed a very successful run for Scenes from the Staten Island Ferry 2019, presented February 23-24 and March 1, 2 and 3 at New Dorp Moravian Church Theatre.
Scenes from the Staten Island Ferry 2019 was Sundog Theatre’s 17th year of presenting new, original, one-act plays about our favorite boats that take us from Staten Island to Manhattan and back – the Staten Island Ferries. For the 2019 edition of Scenes, audiences chose the endings!
“This year’s set of scenes are a collection of diverse takes on moments that just might happen on the ferry, whether it has to do with grand life choices, finding one’s true love, or other surprising changes of heart,” said Sundog Executive Director Susan Fenley. “The stories are quite thought provoking–and some are a bit quirky, but always entertaining. Audiences of all ages will be able to appreciate these six plays by very talented writers. This year, three of our writers are from Staten Island.”
Scenes… is designed by Stephen Fehr (set and lighting). Marisa Monte as production stage manager. Susan Fenley as producer.
