SCP nets awards for ‘Rabbit Hole’ production

Seneca Community Players production of “Rabbit Hole” received two Roving Adjudicator Merit Awards from the Theater Association of New York State (TANYS).Laura Feligno was awarded “Outstanding Acting” for her portrayal Becca Corbett and the entire cast received “Meritorious Achievement in Ensemble Acting.”Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize, David Lindsay-Abaire’s “Rabbit Hole” is an intensely emotional examination of grief, laced with wit, insightfulness, compassion and searing honesty. A story of loss, heartbreak and forgiveness, as a family moves on after the accidental death of their four-year-old, it is a perceptive and poignant study in the day-to-day aches of bereavement: problems with personal intimacy, the uneasy friends who don’t call, and the emptiness in a house packed with reminders.Paul Nelson, the adjudicator applauded SCP for bringing “Rabbit Hole” to the stage. “The company took on the challenge of a beautifully wriiten but complex play and made it appear effortless. Their production was engaging and thought provoking.””Rabbit Hole” will be staged at the Main Street School auditorium in Waterloo, at 8 p.m. Oct. 21 and 22. Tickets are $10 in advance; $12 at the door.
