(PRWEB) October 29, 2005 -- The Theatre Department of Hillsborough Community College-Ybor Campus will present prize-winning playwright Naomi Iizuka’s Polaroid Stories at the HCC Black Box Theatre.
Inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Polaroid Stories takes place on an abandoned pier, a way stop for dreamers and desperadoes, a no-man’s land where runaways, like their mythic counterparts are engulfed by needs that burn and consume. Their language mixes poetry and profanity, imbuing the play with lyricism and great theatrical force.
Not all the stories these characters tell are true; some are lies, wild yarns, clever deceits, but whether or not a homeless kid invents an incredible history isn’t the point when “all these stories and lies add up to something like the truth.”
Polaroid Stories is directed by Dan Khoury. Evening performances are Thursday through Saturday, December 1st through the 3rd and Friday through Saturday, December 9 th and 10th at 7:30 p.m. Matinees are Sundays, December 4 th and 11th at 2:00 p.m.
Polaroid Stories contains strong language.
Tickets are $12.00 for the general public and $7.00 for students, HCC faculty and HCC staff. For information, call (813) 451-3689 or visit www.yellowhousefiction.com. The HCC Black Box Theatre is located in the Historic Latin Quarter of Ybor City on the corner of Palm Avenue and 14th Street.
