Our journey with Any Night by Daniel Arnold & Medina Hahn, began over two years ago as a part of Austin's seminal FronteraFest Fringe Festival. When the festival lost the performance space at the last minute - exactly 27 hours before our opening night - our Any Night Team - in one day - pulled together to mount our production in an historic barn (after all, Austin is in Texas, y'all...). We performed at the Barn to sold out audiences. Thanks to the support and enthusiasm of our FronteraFest audience at the Barn, we were able to mount the official Austin Premiere in September 2016 at the City Theatre.
We were thrilled to have our playwrights, Daniel & Medina, come down to Austin (from Canada!) to attend the performance and hold a special playwright talk-back event.
The positive response to Any Night during our Austin premiere was breathtaking from the engagement of the audience and the discussion sparked during the post-show talkbacks - we knew we had to share Any Night with a broader audience.
ANY NIGHT Today...
The world has changed dramatically in the two years since we first began our work on Any Night. The themes presented & questions posed by the play - Trust, Truth, Privacy, Psychological Manipulation & Violence against Women - have all taken on a chillingly deeper, more urgent resonance. Never have we needed the Arts more than now as a way to shed light on some of these darker aspects of our current society and culture.
