Neil LaBute's The Distance From Here was a hit Off B'way last year. This year Marjorie Lyons Playhouse director Patric McWilliams and producer Bob Busieck are presenting it in Shreveport. Yes, Shreveport, Louisiana.

Josh Porter, Phillip Brooks and Charity Schubert are the principals. Cast photo is by Neil Johnson.

LaBute's The Shape of Things was produced convincingly by MLP two seasons ago. Shape of Things was provocative, clever, memorable and even treacherous.

I think we'll have one of more of those, please, sir.


Distance opens Feb. 17, runs Feb. 18-19 and Feb. 24-26 at 8 p.m., and has a 2 p.m. matinee on Feb. 20.
Theatre Box Office - 318-869-5242 - is open daily from noon to 4 p.m. Tickets: $15 for adults, $13 for senior citizens; and $10 for students. There will be a preview performance on Wednesday, Feb. 16 with all seats priced at $7.
