BONUS - GRENADINE by Neil Wechsler

As part of it's bimonthly radio program, The ETC Digital Theatre Hour on WUTC 88.1 FM (an NPR affiliate station), The Ensemble Theatre of Chattanooga presented Neil Wechsler's play GRENADINE. "GRENADINE is pure fun, it is fantastically delicious, engagingly imaginative and even pushes the button of your heart. While simple in story, it is massive in the message of not taking oneself or one's journey too seriously," mentions Garry Lee Posey (ETC's founder and executive artistic director)

The play follows a group of cohorts on a journey to find the long lost love of one of that group's life. It is a journey that introduces the group to a host of challenges and characters while challenging their connection to each other and their connection to the world. "The play ends with such a dramatic sensibility that you never see coming," mentions Posey.

The cast includes:

Gage Goza as PRISMATIC

Jacob Moore as SCONCE

Courtenay Cholovich as PYX

Christopher Hrozencik-Snyder as GROVE

Casey Keelen as FEMALE ENSEMBLE

Amir Andalib as MALE ENSEMBLE

Garry Lee Posey as MALE ENSEMBLE
