MALIBU PLAYHOUSE Presents

The Pavilion

by

 Craig Wright

The Emmy nominated and WGA award-winning writer of “Six Feet Under” and  “Lost”

Directed by Jeremy Skidmore

April 28 – May 22

Los Angeles, CA — Malibu Playhouse continues their 2016 season with another limited-run critically acclaimed production: The Pavilion written by Craig Wright, the creator and executive producer of the dramatic series, Greenleaf, the first original series produced by Oprah Winfrey, which will begin airing in June.  The Pavilion is helmed by Jeremy Skidmore, world renowned theater director and current Guest Artistic Director of the Malibu Playhouse.

THE PAVILION: Peter returns to his twenty-year high school reunion with dreams of winning back Kari, the girl he left behind after an unexpected pregnancy ended their relationship. Standing in Peter’s way is Kari’s resentment, the mistakes of the past, an entire village of characters (all played by a single virtuosic Narrator), and the momentum of space and time all converging on a single moment in one small American town.
