"This was the original poster done by Ray Cosico for the LA run of the show in 2011. Since this production, the script has undergone a rewrite, been work shopped with Theatre 68 in LA and the Playwright's Collaborative in Sacramento. I am pleased to be bringing a more fully realized vision of this play to my friends and peers. More details of course will be given as the project develops its cast and crew!" - EMH Productions

Down the Road by Lee Blessing - Serial Killer Confesses all....
Would you write the story of a serial killer if you were hired to? That's exactly what married couple Dan and Iris Henniman decide to take on, with far reaching consequences to their view on life, love and how we consume the terrible deeds of others through the media. In this one act journey through serial killer William Reach's mind, we become immersed in a world maybe we shouldn't.... or should we?
This play has received many mixed reviews during the course of the last twenty years. As a creative force, we are looking forward to bringing this cleverly written controversial show to the stage. Currently it stands that Jake Lyall will be portraying Dan Henniman, Elise Hodge (me!) will be Iris Henniman, and William Reach.... is William Reach, all under the direction of Kara Ow.
