BORDERLANDS THEATER TO PRESENT THE ROLLING WORLD PREMIERE OF THE PLAY GROUNDED BY GEORGE BRANT. SEPTEMBER 26- OCTOBER 13,2013 AT ZUZI’S THEATER, 738 N. 5TH AVENUE.
Air Force into the Chair Force! An F16 fighter pilot whose pregnancy ends her career in the sky is re-assigned to maneuver drones from an air-conditioned trailer near Vegas. A tour de force play for one actress, GROUNDED flies from the heights of lyricism to the shallows of workday existence, targeting our assumptions about war, family, and the power of storytelling.
GROUNDED is a National New Play Network (NNPN) Rolling World Premiere with the San Francisco Playhouse (Calif.), Unicorn Theatre (Mo.), and Borderlands Theater . The play is also currently running at the Gate Theatre in London. The Borderlands production is directed by Barclay Goldsmith and it is featuring Alida Holguin Gunn.
