Spoon River Anthology
This ambitious project collected 40 actors & actresses across the two decades of the theater’s history, and was filmed over the course of 6 months. This film debuted at BRCT last October and is the story of the fictitious town of Spoon River, IL, and is told exclusively by the specters of its deceased citizens. These spirits, finding some solace in sharing the secrets that outlived them, speak of their accomplishments, their regrets, as well as how they met their inevitable end. What is unearthed in the process, however, are the surreptitious small-town secrets that many of the denizens of Spoon River would have killed to discover whilst alive, woven together to unveil the less-than-pastoral portrait that they paint of Spoon River and its inhabitants.
