“The term “clear space” refers to a focus on the process, knowledge, and humanity of arts performance: the idea that we find ourselves in what appears on the stage.”   clear space theatre company

The Clear Space Theatre Company launches its 100th production on September 21st through October 7th, with the comedy Shirley Valentine, starring Equity actress Elaine Faye.  This one-woman tour de force is an intimate moving and hysterical look at the life of a British housewife who discovers that her humdrum existence isn’t quite as dead as she thought.

She spends her days talking to the kitchen walls and preparing dinner for her grumbling husband.  When an opportunity to travel to Greece arises, she hesitantly seizes the moment….

On Sunday, 9/23, stay for a chat with cast crew and creative team.
