ABOUT
ONE FAMILY, TWO PLAYWRIGHTS...
​
4615 Theatre Company bids farewell with a surprise final production, the DC premiere of Anna Ziegler’s dazzlingly poetic, funny and heart-wrenching play, A DELICATE SHIP. This is a story about living on the precipice of change in our lives; how we cling to the past while searching for our next chapter…the perfect coda for our little theatre company that could.
On a stormy Christmas eve in present day Brooklyn, new couple Sarah and Sam are spending a quiet holiday together. Then, a knock at the door, and in from the cold comes Sarah’s childhood best friend, Nate, bearing gifts of poetry and recreational drugs…plus some painfully unresolved feelings. What follows is an achingly beautiful, witty and tense tango between three 30-somethings at the turn of their lives, ricocheting between the present and old memories…with each providing their own commentary directly to the audience.
​
A DELICATE SHIP performs not in a theatre, but in a unique venue that brings 4615 back to our “play-in-a-house” beginnings. Our performance space, Studio 1469 (yes, really), is a flexible gallery-style space built as an extention to a private residence in the Columbia Heights neighborhood. As you approach the space, you’ll walk down a cobblestone alley, journeying down memory lane before arriving at a beautiful, intimate venue for only 30 audience members a show. As a parting thank you from us, every single seat is Pay-What-You-Can. We hope you’ll join us for our theatre’s last ever voyage, and take in this beautiful play in a one-of-a-kind space.
