HIGHLAND LAKE, NY — NACL Theatre will persent Scott Adkins’ play “The Kioskers” on Saturday, September 12 at 7:30 p.m. There will be an open dress rehearsal (free of charge) on Friday, September 11 at 7:30 p.m.

In 2013, New York City playwright Adkins attended a playwrights’ retreat at NACL Theatre led by master playwright Erik Ehn and a New York City Pata-playwrights group. During that time, Adkins wrote a play about two city dwellers, Sabrina and Matteo, who seek escape from the drudgery of urban living in the countryside. That play became “The Kioskers.”

The play begins with a search for a robin’s nest from Sabrina’s past, which leads the two to a tree that becomes a portal to a new world. The couple move beyond beyond, hitching a ride on a dirigible helmed by a people on the verge of extinction: The Kioskers. Told through a haunting score, performed by a troupe of strange players, The Kioskers mixes toy theater, shadow puppetry, projected stop animation, live music and performance to tell a magical story about love, friendship and loss.

NACL Theatre is located at 110 Highland Lake Rd. Visit www.nacl.org.
