“It’s quite clear Centre Stage is doing remarkable work in Greenville; building an artistic relationship that brings real value to the community. I feel quite honored to have my story on your stage, and very blessed to have been chosen from such a strong field of plays.” Steven Totland, You Are Here, playwright
Directed by Brian Haimbach, You Are Here tells the story of a father and son dealing with growing pains. Guy wants to go away to college and Roger wants life to stay as it is. Their life has not been easy. Roger's developmental disability has kept guy from having a normal childhood. When they are faced with the most difficult decision of their lives, they must decide what is really important. Selected as the best out of over 200 submissions, this heart-warming play is the winner of the 2011 New Play Festival. Tickets are only $10 to see this exciting, up-and-coming new playwright!
