Finally, playwright Johanna Beale Keller of DeWitt, New York, is bringing the physical comedy to the festival with Look, where it comes again! directed by Steve Carpentier. 

Here, three actors (Lisa Caughorn, Alexis Munoz and Keri Wolfe) in a small Shakespearean troupe await the arrival of a world-renowned director who will lead them through their rehearsal for Hamlet. But, in a classically Shakespearean case of mistaken identity, the actors encounter a truck driver, played by Cindy Lou Parker, who they think is their visiting director. 

“They get the truck driver to give them advice on acting,” says Holloway, and – surprise, she’s not exactly an expert. “They ask her about ‘aside,’ which she’s never heard of, and she says, ‘for a side, well, I guess the best side is potatoes’ and then they all act like potatoes.” 

If you, like us, are wondering what it means to act like a potato, Holloway has a simple answer: “Come and find out.”
