Smith Center Performance
The Arts Come Alive!
2009-2010 Season of the Arts
Rabbit Hole by Ohlone College Theatre and Dance Department
A child’s tragic death, women throwing fists in a bar, quantum immortality, girlfight in a Safeway, and a cold marriage bed. What brings these disparate elements together with a splash of black comedy is David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer Prize winning Broadway hit, Rabbit Hole, Ohlone College’s 2009 Fall Theatre and Dance Production.

Bringing what the New York Times published as “honesty, accuracy and humor in the details…polished to a high, reflective sheen, the dialogue is blessed with Mr. Lindsay-Abaire's customary grace and wit, but never sounds less than organic.”
The 5-character play focuses on upwardly mobile Becca and Howie, trying to cope with the death of their only child, four-year-old Danny, killed in an auto accident, while Becca’s well-meaning mom and trashy sister attempt to lift their spirits, each in her own off-kilter way. The couple's lives are further complicated when the young driver who killed their son contacts them seeking his own closure as well. The play executes “an expressiveness that—like great sorrow—is beyond words.”
