The first show of Merry War Theatre Group's season this year is about making dreams come true. We will be performing Pyretown written by John Belluso. Mr. Belluso was an author who was confined to a wheelchair and understood the human struggle greater than most. One of Reno's own actors has been battling with his own limitations for years. Evan Gadda is a Reno resident who was born with cerebral palsy and has been confined to a wheelchair his whole life, with one dream in mind, to be an actor. This March that dream will come true. Evan Gadda will be staring in Pyretown with the incredibly talented Helena Inskeep. All of proceeds from the show will be donated to a special cause on closing night. MWTG Making Dreams Come True Since 2011.
Pyretown Story: Louise is a divorced mother of three, getting by on welfare checks and child support in a depressed, industrial New England town. Harry is a handsome, clever young man, a wheelchair user since a childhood accident. Their paths cross in an emergency room as Louise seeks out care for her daughter's mysterious sickness. Yearning for connection beyond his online friends and his pile of Russian novels, Harry reaches out to help Louise navigate her daughter's care. More compatriots than lovers, they find solace with each other for a brief and intense interlude before their paths diverge. A frank and melancholy portrait of life on the fringes of American society.
