New York, NY- (August 21, 2006) Frontier Stage/David Marrero presents GLASS HIGHWAYS. On Christmas Eve in contemporary New Mexico, winter storm clouds buoy an omnipresent full moon. This night, on a lonely Interstate highway, with the support of his Zuni Indian brother Wayne, Jimmy Freewater has to run the gamut of near mythical proportions as he seeks to marry the woman he loves. But Julia’s father and brothers, comprising a dysfunctional family, menace and conspire against any such union. Jimmy’s comic/tragic journey parallels the course of a blizzard the likes of which has never been seen in New Mexico history. The near apocryphal quest pits culture against culture, belief against belief, man against man, through a worsening storm that shows no abatement.
David Marrero (Playwright) lived his early years in Texas, New Mexico and California, the settings for some of his plays. While getting a Masters in Theatre at Hunter College CUNY, beginning in 2001, David worked several years with Tina Howe. Called a fabulist by Ms. Howe for his ability to work fables and various mythological elements into his plays, David won the John Golden Award in 2003 for Glass Highways and has been a finalist in several national playwriting contests. The plays include: Vanishing Point; Undiscovered Highway; Accident Near a Small Western Diner, AKA Night Of The Cyclops; A Tangible White Darkness; The Contest Winners; Approximately One Mile Offshore; Incident Near Chaco Diner. Three of his plays were produced by En Avant Playwrights of which he was a member, 2001-2004. During his NYC teaching experience in general and with Alternative High Schools, David developed a program that brought actors and plays and playwriting into the classroom. In 2006 he established Frontier Stage Productions as a home for science fiction, folk, and myth-based playwriting and production in New York City.
Matt Black (Director) is a graduate of Hunter College, where he received the Robert Lobianco Scholarship for theatre excellence and the Tyrone Guthrie Award for directing. Matt has recently directed a version of Miss Julie at the Fredrick Loewe and assisted director Bill Walters in his production of The Collected Works of Billy the Kid. Other directing credits include References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea and Ikke, Ikke, Nye, Nye, Nye by Lanford Wilson. Currently Matt is founder of Marrow Rep., which is a theatre company dedicated to the collaboration of different art forms, and a new approach towards physical and emotional awareness in the actor’s body.
