The month of December is typically flooded with holiday-oriented stage shows - and this year is no different - but if you’re looking for something a little different, much more adult and thoughtful, you won’t go wrong with the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Rabbit Hole, being presented by ARTS over the next two weekends at the Renaissance Theatre in Huntington.
It features a small cast of amazing actors - so let’s hear from them, starting with the intense and talented leading man, Len Trent.
Q: For those not familiar with the show tell us about Rabbit Hole.
Len: This is the the story of a couple dealing with the recent loss of their child. They are handling it in very different ways and it could tear them apart.
Q: Tell us about the character you play.
Len: I play Howie. He is the father of the deceased child. He is trying as well as he can to keep the memory of his son in his life and preserve his marriage.
Q: Is it challenging tackling such an emotional role?
Len: Yes. Any role is a challenge, but the hard subject matter and intimacy of the space give it a uniqueness that can seem overwhelming at times.
Q: Why did you want to be a part of this show?
Len: It's Mike Murdock, and the Pulitzer Prize! Also, had I known the casting beforehand, I would have sold pieces of my soul to do this show.
Q: Why would you recommend this show?
Len: Wonderful writing and great directing. This one will hit you where you live.
Thanks, Len!
Rabbit Hole will be presented at the Renaissance Ballroom at 900 8th Street in Huntington on Dec. 5, 6, 12 and 13 at 8 p.m. Tickets for dinner and the show are $30 (reservations required - call 304-733-2787) - show only is $15.
