- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) August 10, 2011 - This week Wildcliff presents its first theatre project of the season with Mt. Vernon playwright Paul Bratcher's musical stageplay A Mended Heart. The play is about a woman's struggle in overcoming heart break. The play opens Saturday, August 13th at 6pm with a rain date of Sunday, August 14th at 3pm.
Bratcher approached Eric Woodlin months ago about mounting his new work on Wildcliff's open air stage. After hearing the powerful voices in the play, Woodlin gave the green light to mount the piece. The collaboration of the two African American producers presents an opportunity for future theatre projects in Westchester County (NY). Woodlin in pursuit of his second annual short play festival, Appetizers, has long awaited a partnership that leverages his theatre productions.
