The latest production offered by Little Theatre Group of Costa Rica will open on Friday October 12th 2012 at 7:30pm.

Looking for the Pony by Andrea Lepcio was first presented in a “Rolling World Premiere” Off-Broadway at Vital Theatre Company in New York City in 2009. Since then it has been performed across the United States always receiving excellent reviews. Described by reviewer Martin Denton as a “wise, gorgeous and moving play”, it tells the story of two smart loving women and the (sometimes metaphorical) places they go during three impossible years in which one of them battles cancer, while the other shifts from a well-paying career in finance to her true vocation as a writer.

It is a tale of two life journeys, characterized by hope and fear and pain and passion. (Martin Denton review 2009). This production, directed by Annette Hallett, will showcase the talents of two young women, Silvia Schneegans and Bethany Skipper as Eloise and Lauren. Everyone else in Looking for the Pony—doctors, nurses, cancer patients, rabbis, etc.—will be portrayed by a small team of dedicated actors who will change costume and personality throughout the play with remarkable agility.

Come to this play prepared to laugh and to maybe cry a little; either way, don’t forget your tissues!

Reservations for this production can be made on the website littletheatregroup.org or by phone 8858-1446 from October 1st 2012.
