In the fall of 2023, we gathered in Studio 2 at The Barrow Group to hear a new play by John Yearley – Triptych. Michael Giese and Tricia Alexandro read this script so beautifully that Seth and I were sobbing at the end.
Michael, Trish, and Eric Paeper, who will be directing, have been with The Barrow Group for over twenty years. They speak a common language, which is in their bones – a common language that comes from working together for so long. Watching them work is magic. They breathe together like one organism. These artists bring a shared history to their work. They have lived life together for over twenty years.
Speaking a common language makes for a rich experience. Everything becomes easier. You can know someone’s thoughts before they speak. One look can say many different things.
Years ago we produced John Yearley’s The Unrepeatable Moment. In that piece, both Tricia and Michael touched people deeply with their artistry. We are beyond grateful and fortunate that this team will be gracing the stage this November with the world premiere production of Triptych.
What a gift we have with the community at The Barrow Group where so many people speak a common language.
