For Heaven's Sake!
by acclaimed Buffalo author Laura Pedersen Directed by Ludovica Villar-Hauser September 17th – October 4th, 2015 710 Main Theatre
The Kilgannons are a typical Irish family in 1974 Buffalo. However, the world is changing fast, the generation gap is widening, and the future is up for grabs. Will the Kilgannons find the serenity to accept the things they cannot change and the wisdom to know that what needs changing most is sitting around the dinner table? FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! is a witty drama about family, faith, and the ties that bind — sometimes too tightly.
FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! (then called The Brightness of Heaven) enjoyed a successful encore presentation at Manhattan Repertory’s Fall Play Festival 2012. The success of this production opened the play up to a new off-Broadway run at the Cherry Lane Theatre Fall 2014. |

- THE FRONT ROW CENTER "...the writing and the acting is so good and the direction, by Ludovica Villar-Hauser, so subtle that you root for everyone in different ways and for different reasons." - THEATER PIZZAZZ "A fantastic piece of work by Laura Pedersen..." - Marisa Vitolo, REVIEWFIX.com |
