About the Play:
Sundown, Yellow Moon is a full-length drama with music by Rachel
Bonds. While navigating the
unsettling waters of young adulthood, twin sisters return home to
find their father in a moment of crisis. Under the cover of
late-night, small-town shadows, sleep is elusive, connections are
frayed, and the southern summer heat presses in. Sundown,
Yellow Moon is an ethereal,
honest, funny-sad play about seeing old faces with new eyes, and the
liminal space between loss and letting go.
Sundown, Yellow Moon is
about fathers and daughters,
and loneliness, making mistakes, and making art. Set
in a small college town in the South, the play – which includes
several original songs by the indie-folk duo The Bengsons – focuses
on Ray and Joey, twin sisters who have returned home from New York to
visit their cranky father, Tom. He is recently divorced and has just
had an altercation with the administration at the school where he
teaches. Joey is about to head off to Berlin on a Fulbright
scholarship, while Ray, a struggling musician, has just left her job
and a romantic relationship with her boss. The family comes together
and sees friends from their pasts, but they can't get over the ennui
that is associated with moving on from where they've been to where
they will be.
Sundown, Yellow Moon premiered in 2017 in a co-production
between Ars Nova And The Women's Project (WP Theatre) at
McGinn/Cazale Theater off Broadway in New York City.
Cast: 3 women, 4 men
