About the Project
“Unplugged Electric Guitar” is a two-act play, written specifically for the voices of actors Danny Rocco, Nathan Norrington-Herr, Jack Little and the late-great Tom Noonan, played triumphantly here by the indominable David Gueriera. Directed by Chivonne Michelle, “Unplugged” began as a way for playwright Danny Rocco to better understand his relationship to his father, art and middle age.
Over a breakfast conversation, Tom convinces Danny to give up as a writer. Years later, Danny is given the chance to mentor an artist and is faced with a similar ask: does he pass down inspiration, or fear?
Described by the writer as “the closest thing to a horror story I could imagine,” the play uses two pivotal, intimate conversations to examine the slow subtle paper-cuts that bleed out the artist from their higher purpose.
The ways we convince ourselves it’s ok to let go of our dreams.
And the ways we change when we do.
