Set entirely on one weathered park bench, STILL LIFE IN CENTRAL PARK is an ensemble drama told in nine vignettes. Each scene captures a different pairing or small group—ranging from a runaway teen and a solitary jogger, to lifelong companions debating mortality, to a jovial pastor tending quiet grief, to a clown on the cusp of reinvention. As characters come and go, their conversations reveal fragments of larger lives; loves found, losses survived, and choices that shape who they are becoming, together.
STILL LIFE IN CENTRAL PARK can be seen for only 9 performances, February 13-22, 2026. Join us at The MAIN in Santa Clarita, CA! TICKETS go on sale November 5, 2025! Auditions are to held on December 3rd from 7PM - 9PM at The MAIN in Santa Clarita! |

Elise has moved on but not away, staying on the infamous family property and running it as an archery school. Harry, on the other hand, has made his living off any true crime podcast and documentary opportunity he can find to exploit his father. But when Harry returns home with dreams of converting it into a murder house tourist attraction, both siblings are forced to confront their own buried secrets in order to escape their father's long-reaching shadow. |
