Three Bone Theatre, a production company started by two Catawba College alumnae, will offer its first production of “Fiction” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 4, in the Florence Busby Corriher Theatre on campus. Tickets are $10 per person and reservations can be made at tbtreservation@gmail.com.
“Fiction,” by Steven Dietz reveals the story of married couple, Linda and Michael. Linda is dying and her final wish is to read her husband’s meticulously kept journals. Michael, however, proves that no one is ever truly an open book. Theatre-goers witness a heart-wrenching story of infidelity, twisted secrets and wit.
Directed by one of the Three Bone Theatre founders, 2010 Catawba alumna Carmen Bartlett, the show features the acting talents of Blake Dyson, Deb Mein, and Rozlyn Stanley. Annabelle Prince (a 2012 Catawba alumna) is stage-managing the production.
Bartlett earned her BA degree in Theatre Arts, while Three Bone Theater co-founder, Robin Tynes, graduated from Catawba in 2012 with her BFA degree in Musical Theatre. Both were transfers to the college and met during the one year their time at Catawba overlapped. They have become very close friends and colleagues and now live in Charlotte.
The name Three Bone Theatre is inspired by a Reba McEntire quote: ‘To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.’
