2009 World Premiere of Where Moments Hung Before
By Joey C. Pelletier
World Premier: August 6-16 2009 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Jasper Kelly, a gay man in his early thirties has died. Morgan has decided to throw her brother's memorial service on the same night as her daughter Lucy's birthday party hoping to fill everyone with a sense of happiness. Lucy thinks this is a crummy idea seeing as everyone at the party is stuck between their memories of Jasper and a future without him. As the night passes Jasper's friends and family grapple with the ever-changing landscape of AIDS, their own personal and sexual identities, and their understanding of a friend gone.
"Pelletier has written a tender, affecting play that offers plenty of laughs along with its many striking dramatic moments." ~Kilian Melloy, EDGE Boston~ -Read the Full Review Here!-

Local Talent, Local Flavor The Boston Actors Theater has firmly established itself as a home for Boston area actors, writers and directors. Founded in 2004, Boston Actors Theater has attracted both critical acclaim and unique talent. Our first two productions, A.R. Gurney's Love Letters and Steve Martin's The Underpants were widely considered successes, but it was 2005's Love From Beginning to End and Everything in Between that helped move the company to larger spaces. As the company has grown it has taken on more daring projects, including the critically acclaimed Criminal Hearts original piece Hence These Tears and, most recently, the Boston Premier of Mary Zimmerman's Tony Nominated Metamorphoses. Continuing its tradition of supporting local artists, this summer, Boston Actors Theater will again produce its Summer Play Festival, featuring four original one-act plays by local playwrights.
