Event Description:
"Bon-Nita" is playwright Elizabeth Heffron’s tale of the dark young life of a spunky and undaunted 13-year-old girl played by acclaimed actor Terri Weagant and directed by Summer Wallace. Opening January 29 for a run through March 1 at the Denizen Theatre, 10 Water Street.
Mona, Bo-Nita’s mother, newly released after two-years of jail, along with a slew of her ex-boyfriends, grandfather and even her deceased grandmother are all brought to life as Terri Weagant transforms into seven different characters in this “quick-change performance worthy of the late Robin Williams” (YourObserver) . The story takes bizarre twists as the imagination of Bo-Nita runs wild. She experiences all types of dysfunction, including abuse and addiction, but Bo-Nita, a gifted child, sees her family for who they really are; the good and the bad.
"Bo-Nita" opens at the Denizen after its award-winning run last fall at NYC United Solo Festival where it was awarded the Best in Storytelling. A big kudos to Ms. Weagant and Ms. Wallace. The play's debut in the Hudson Valley is another milestone in the Denizen's commitment to powerful, impactful and thought provoking theatre.
