All That I Will Ever Be (a play by Alan Ball of Six Feet Under and True Blood fame) November 13, 2009

There will be a (free!) production of Alan Ball's All That I Will Ever Be, at the Newdick Theatre in the Shafer Street Playhouse on the VCU campus (next to the Shafer Dining Court) on November 13th through 15th. The performances will be at 8 pm on Friday and Saturday, and 2 pm Sunday. Ball, as most of you know, wrote the play "Five Women Wearing the Same Dress," is the creator of the HBO series True Blood and Six Feet Under, and won an Oscar for "American Beauty." All that I Will Ever Be is a smart critique of American culture and consumption, with Ball's signature satirical style dissecting fractured and shifting identities in post-9/11 Los Angeles. The marvelous performers include Dallas Tolentino, Chris Leary, Elliott Lau, Felisha Barnes, Josh Chenard, and a special video appearance by John Porter.
