Samantha Richert (Bari) leads the cast which also includes Barlow Adamson (Mike Cooper). Making their Lyric stage debuts are Shani Farrell (Patty Cooper) and Katherine Shaver (Luanne Cooper).
*Having seen, and thoroughly enjoyed this show, BostonCentral highly recommends! The talented cast draws you into the story immediately. From simple but brilliant set design, to well-developed, multi-dimensional characters that you feel you already know, this though-provoking play is a true gem.*
A quirky romantic comedy about a professor of nihilism who experiences joy for the first time, Be
Here Now centers around Bari, a misanthrope who has returned to her hometown of East Cooperville, NY as she struggles to finish her thesis.
Working at a local fulfillment center, her despair has reached new heights When Bari begins experiencing emotions she never has felt before, she begins to have a different outlook on life.
And when she discovers that the cause of these feelings may be killing her, Bari is forced to ask if she wants to go back to a life of nothing.
Says Lyric Stage Artistic Director and director of this production, Courtney O’Connor, “In Bari,
we see a woman experiencing joy and connection with others for the first time in her life, forcing her to question who she is now, what she is willing to do to hold onto her new-found joy, and whether or not she's willing to change. Over this past year and a half, many of us have had to ask ourselves the same questions. And like Bari and those in her world, the answers may surprise all of us.”
Scenic Design is by Janie Howland, Costume Design by Rachel Padula-Shufelt, Lighting Design
