TBD Productions to stage Constellations,’ a love story on Valentine’s weekend

Veterans Building in City Park

From TBD PRODUCTIONS

TBD Productions will be offering the play “Constellations” by Nick Payne  Friday, Feb. 11, Saturday, Feb. 12, and Monday, Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m.; and, Sunday Feb. 13 at 2:30 p.m. in the Veterans Memorial Building Atrium at City Park in Bowling Green.  The venue is provided by a support grant from the City of Bowling Green Parks and Recreations Department.  

This spellbinding, romantic journey begins with a simple encounter between a man and a woman. But what happens next defies the boundaries of the world we think we know—delving into the infinite possibilities of their relationship and raising questions about the difference between choice and destiny.  The play stars Mark T. Denucci, Jr. as Roland and Katya Dachik as Marianne.  

When the play is over, a conversation begins.   After each performance TBD will offer a “talkback,” an opportunity for the actors and a moderator to engage with the audience.

One purpose of this conversation is educational, to help audience members think about the themes in the play.  Also, the cast gets to find out directly what the audience thought of the show, what material resonated. 

But more importantly, TBD hopes the talkbacks will give audience members an opportunity to consider the context of what they have just seen on stage.  A talkback is also an opportunity where people can hear someone else and maybe say, “That person had an experience that resonates with me, so maybe I can have a conversation with them.” In this way, the play is not just a cultural event, but also a community-building opportunity.  

“Constellations”  is produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc. and directed by Matt Zwyer

TBD Productions is a relatively new theatre company in the community, having begun during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The idea for the name of the company actually comes from the Bible: 1 John 3:2 says, “Friends, here and now we are children of God.  What we will become has yet to be determined (TBD), but we know that when we see Christ, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.”
