Grants Pass Group Protests Brookings 4th Annual Event

Brookings 4th Annual Pride Festival was interrupted by protesters. Jason Liddell reports.

Threepenny Theater Co. is proud to present their summer production of Squall, a Psychological Thriller starring Chloé Rosenthal and directed by Andrew Curtis Stark.

About the show: Diana is a celebrated TV journalist, and a fierce guardian of her own privacy. Isolated on an island off the coast of Maine while sorting through the personal effects of her recently deceased mother, Diana is surprised and intrigued when a young stranger, Cordelia, rings the bell. Once a fierce summer storm washes out the bridge connecting them to the mainland, however, Cordelia reveals an unnerving intimacy with Diana’s past. A compelling game of cat and mouse ensues, culminating in a violent life-and-death struggle.

Chloé Rosenthal is a Brookings native who has been living and working in Los Angeles’ entertainment industry for more than a decade, and she returns to her hometown whenever she can to support local live theater. Audiences who loved seeing Chloé Rosenthal’s commanding performance as Annie Wilkes in sold-out performances of the Chetco Pelican Players’ 2023 production of Stephen King’s Misery will be on the edge of their seats throughout this female-led thriller!

Director Andrew Curtis Stark is an Oregon native who has been working in the entertainment industry for over 25 years. He has been working the last ten years in Los Angeles behind the camera, writing and directing for television, film, and commercials. He has enjoyed many amazing opportunities throughout his career, from performing onstage at Walt Disney World, to working with and directing some of Hollywood’s best actors.
