Director's Notes

A Note From the Director

Angie Dee

Producer/Director

Director's Notes

Thank you so much for joining us for Bonnie and Clyde. Working alongside so many incredible artists to bring this true story to life has been a "blast". The story takes place in a dark time in American History. The Great Depression took place from 1929-1939. It was a severe global economic downturn that affected many countries across the world. Coupled with the backlash of crime families, who thrived in rebelling against Prohibition in the United States, and the immense poverty...some turned to crime to survive. This is the story of Bonnie and Clyde. Every story is important to tell, some are harder to tell than others. People make choices everyday...some that shape our past...and some that are told to help affect the future. Their story is true and their story needs to be told.

We are so grateful that you joined us. Please be aware that there are loud gunshot noises and some strobe effects. Visually there is blood, death and sexual content. Viewers discretion is advised.

About Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie & Clyde tells the story of real-life fugitives, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. In the midst of the country-wide depression the couple find notoriety and love in this thrilling, fast-paced musical. Frustrated with their poor, ordinary lives, Bonnie and Clyde both dream of the exciting lives they have seen in the movies. After escaping from jail, Clyde meets Bonnie and recognizes a fellow dreamer. Their craving for fame and thrills leads them into a life of crime and a life on the run. Despite the pleas of their families, the couple embark on a series of robberies at gunpoint, continuously evading the police and becoming the celebrities they desperately wanted to be. They are soon joined by Clyde’s brother, Buck, and the “Barrow Gang” plans increasingly ambitious heists. As their fame and ambition grows, their inevitable fate draws closer. When Buck is killed by the police during an escape, Bonnie and Clyde decide to go and see their families once more. This decision leads them straight into the police firing line and they are both shot dead in the car. Sexy, exciting, and daring, Bonnie & Clyde combines gospel, rockabilly, and blues music to produce an innovative score that complements the action-filled plot.

Rated PG-13 Due to Gun Violence and Death, Mild Language, Sexual Undertones with Heavy Kissing and 1930s Lingerie.

About Audience of One

Written by Bethany Harrison

Audience of One is listed as a non-profit on paper, but it is a mission field at heart, with a focus rooted much more on purpose than profit seeking entertainment. More so than sporting events, nightclubs or dining experiences, the theatre provides a canvas for not only connection, but for change. Audience of One not only capitalizes on the transformative power of the theatre, but does so for the love of all and for the One which love is named; focusing heavily on the empowerment of the artists who participate in the productions. An artist centered focus, under the umbrella of the overwhelming love of God, attracts a wide variety of artists and audience members, from every walk of life.

That is something that Angie Dee, founder of AOO, credits as the lifeblood of the organization: “There are so many people, from every walk of life, that simply just need to know they are loved. They need to connect with people and know that every single person’s story matters, and the theatre provides a mechanism to tell vast amounts of people ‘you matter. You are not alone.’ That’s why we pour so much heart into what we do. We aren’t only offering an activity for families to do together in the community, we are offering a space for the human heart to connect and create, which is something innate in every single person. We were all designed with creativity in mind, and the stage allows large groups of people to intimately connect in a shared creative experience that is immersive and transformative”.

In other words, one simply cannot leave the doors of the theatre the same. That, for the artists and directors at AOO, is ministry at its finest. Marketing Director and AOO performer Bethany Harrison notes: “The beauty of the Gospel is that it meets us where we are, and invites us to change through the ultimate display of love. If we let it, the stage has a beautiful way of making the reality of that gift-the unfailing love of God- come to life with every bit of text, music, and choreography that is displayed on the stage through storytelling, even if the name of God is never mentioned. The stage asks hard questions. It gives us a lens into different ways of life. It provokes us to think and take action and change, hopefully, for the better. More than anything, it gives us a space to sit in another person’s story for a bit and make it our own. And in turn that makes us all a little more introspective and a little more compassionate.”

A GIANT THANK YOU

to Fakes and Hooker for the love, support, and friendship.
