The Corner
Location: Marietta, GA
Type: Theater
JMAXi Productions: AUDITIONS for the play “The Corner”
This seriocomic penetrates the layers beneath the surface; concealed by manipulation, money, and status. The fact of facing spiritual forces goes beyond the scope of analytical perception. Whatever the reason the characters stumble across a homeless blind man and a homeless woman residing on a street corner in Atlanta. The soothing sounds of the blind man and the piercing perception of the homeless woman reveal the raging wars beneath the surface of all they encounter. Will the characters be ready to face the innermost depths from within themselves? Will their armor be sufficient, and will your armor be sufficient?
