Joanna Strapp is Kelly in ‘Reborning’ at the Fountain Theatre
Launching Fountain’s 25th Anniversary Season
Casting is now complete for the Fountain’s upcoming Los Angeles Premiere of Reborning by Zayd Dohrn, directed by Simon Levy. The San Francisco Chronicle hailed the play for its “sharp, breezy dialogue … A comic setup that spins into deeply affecting territory.”
Reborning is a darkly funny and unique love story that takes an unsettling look at family, motherhood and the power of creation. A young artist who crafts custom-made lifelike latex dolls for parents who have lost their child begins to suspect that a demanding client may be the mother who abandoned her at birth. As she tries to unravel the mystery, she discovers the path to her own “reborning.”
