Egg Frame
A surreal new comedy from Nicholas Kennedy and Jim Grant
Why see Egg Frame?
Brand new play
Egg Frame, a surreal dramedy, concerns Allen, a locksmith who seemingly can't fix a mysterious broken door. What he also can't fix is his wife, Dolores who suffers from early onset dementia aided only by his soon-to-be-son-in-law, Jack, while his daughter, Janey, serves in Afghanistan.
Told in fragments not unlike a broken record or damaged mind Egg Frame explores the intricacies of a fractured family using the perspectives of a struggling father and the declining mind of a suffering mother.
Written by Nicholas Kennedy and Jim Grant, and directed by Kennedy and, Lauren McAuliffe, don't miss this new play when it comes to the American Theatre of Actors from September 1 - 10.
With Josh Koehn as tribulation-ridden Allen, Dayna Michelle Kurtz, Sara McAuliffe, Jim Grant, Brian Mendoza, Gillian Britt, Madelyn Stewich, Brendan Roque, and Abhishek Ojha.

GO SEE EGG FRAME! It has too short of an engagement, with only a few performances left. Nicholas Kennedy and Jim Grant have written a cross stylized, multi genre play that'll make you feel like your on an unsafe downright dangerous rollercoaster. As you try to get off you are hypnotized by the entire cast during a disco dance break. I was dying for it to become a more interactive show as Allen, an aging locksmith played by Joshua Koehn and Michael Marcel played by Brian Mendoza teased me with one too many fourth wall breaks. Most of the time they were funny or engaging as the direction from Nicholas Kennedy and Lauren McAuliffe had daring moments that purposefully made the characters fight the audience... After coming out of your stasis, you and the rest of the egg heads sitting in the theatre are forced to resist in not busting a move or two with a time traveling disco door... SO unfair. You must see it if you can but prepare yourself for some tears. ... Read more
