As they wait to finalize their home stage, KDT’s season takes over a variety of venues. And to kick off its 33rd season, the company goes far from home for Safe at Home.
Opening Thursday, Dec. 7 through Sunday, Safe at Home is a play centered on baseball, so where better than to stage it on an actual baseball field?
This is only the second time the show, written by Gabriel Greene and Alex Levy, has been staged professionally. From Kitchen Dog Theater: Instead of creating nine interiors in a traditional theatre with a stationary audience, Riders Field in Frisco expands the art form of theater, with its existent spaces becoming stages for a cast of actors who repeat their scenes over and over as the patrons, not the cast, move from scene to scene.
