EDMONDS — It plays just one weekend.
“Lark Eden” is a new play that chronicles the friendship of three Southern women over the course of 75 years.
Remaining performances are 8 p.m. Jan. 16 and 17 and 2 p.m. Jan. 18 at the Driftwood Players’ Wade James Theatre, 950 Main St., Edmonds. All tickets are $15.
Playwright Natalie Symons takes Driftwood’s audiences on a journey of love and loss, held together by the endurance of old friendships.
Told in letters read aloud, “Lark Eden” is “a deeply moving and darkly comic look at the fingerprints that we unknowingly leave on the hearts of those we love,” said director Doug Staley.
The production features the talents of actors Patty Bonnell, Lily Kister and Carissa Meisner Smit.
“Lark Eden” is a part of the Theatre of Intriguing Possibilities series at Driftwood. The series shines a spotlight on local playwrights, new plays, topical subjects and edgier fare.
Symons is a 2014 recipient of the Hillsborough County (Florida) Arts Council Individual Artist Grant, and was honored with the Best of the (Tampa) Bay Award: Critic’s Choice for “Most Promising Playwright” in 2012.
“Lark Eden” now has been performed at nearly a dozen theatres across the U.S., including Theater Schmeater in Seattle. Symons studied acting at Boston University.
