The Living Room’s powerful production of David Harrower’s “Blackbird” will continue for one more weekend. The two-character play starring Scott Cordes and Vanessa Severo was to have closed last Monday, but ticket sales have been so brisk that three performances have been added: 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 2 p.m. Sunday.
The play is a darkly comic and disturbing 90-minute one-act centering on a young woman and an older man discussing a sexual relationship they shared 15 years earlier. Bryan Moses directed the show. The Living Room is at 1818 McGee St. In other theater news, veteran actor, director and playwright Ric Averill has founded a professional theater company as part of the Lawrence Arts Center. The first production is Sarah Ruhl’s quirky comedy “Dead Man’s Cell Phone.
The show opened last weekend at the arts center, 940 New Hampshire, Lawrence. Additional performances are scheduled at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The show will also be performed on Feb. 18 at the Fishtank Performance Studio at 17th and Wyandotte streets in the Crossroads Arts District.
Averill directs the show, which features Doogin Brown, Natalie Liccardello, Kitty Steffens, Diane Yvette and Jeanne Averill.
