Shadow Hour by the Bowie Community Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse, Apr 5-28

Shadow Hour
by Ralph Tropf
directed by: Nicole Mullens-Teasley

April 5 – 28, 2024
Fridays and Saturdays at 8PM, Sunday matinees at 2PM

Location: Bowie Community Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse

General Admission – $25.00, Seniors (62+) & Students – $20.00.

Shadow Hour is an exciting courtroom drama for the stage. A jury is given the task of assigning guilt or innocence to a United States Senator accused of sexual assault. As the jury debates the testimony, flashbacks to the trial show how the members of the panel interpret the evidence through their own bias. Flashbacks to the actual events of the “crime” show how the witnesses themselves also add bias to the evidence. The truth is lost in shadows.
