InterAct Theatre Company,
located at 302 S. Hicks Street is presenting
the World Premiere of The Climb through June 23, 2024. Written by C.A. Johnson and directed by Catherine K. Slusar, the play
chronicles a month in the life of a successful photographer and her wife, who
has been her muse for the past 6 years. Tiffany, stunningly portrayed by
Ciera Gardner, feels “objectified” and plans on a month-long hike in the woods
to get away from it all. Marge, her wife, portrayed by Sam Rosentrater, is
steadfast and shocked at her decision to go, claiming all the successes she has achieved as a photographer belong to
both of them. Bella, portrayed by Claris Park, is a new student of
Marge’s who at first admires her work,
but later becomes critical. The fourth member of this talented ensemble is
Trevor Fayle who portrays Ike, a
fellow hiker Tiffany meets on the trail. The set design is an excellent
representation of a trail in the woods, yet at the same time, it leaves
room to
illustrate what is happening with Marge.
Ike and Tiffany set up a very realistic
campfire and are caught in a torrential rainstorm the next day. Spoiler Alert!
Both the flames of the campfire and the sheets
of pouring rain are actually video projections. All the actors in the play give
credible performances, with the strongest performances coming from Ciera Gardner and Claris Parker. There is a surprise ending, but as with all
the works presented at InterAct, you’ll leave the theatre with a plethora of
things to discuss. For more information or tickets, call 215-568-8079 or visit online
