When Selwyn’s car breaks down in the middle of the Alabama woods, he is relieved to find Kendra’s home tucked away beneath the trees. Thrown together by circumstance and hiding from painful pasts, both Selwyn and Kendra learn what it means to find acceptance in a stranger. (left, Jeffry Chastang, playwright)
Passage’s Artistic Director, Ryanne Domingues, says, “DAUPHIN ISLAND is a refreshing play about what happens when we show a little bit of kindness towards each other. I wanted to give our audience a show that highlights the strength of empathy and even makes us laugh a bit. The show’s two characters are by no means perfect people, but they find acceptance in one another, and I feel like we need more of that in the world.”
This two-person show features the acting talents of Shadana Patterson (Kendra, left) and SJ Hannah (Selwyn, below, right).
Per usual, Passage will host a community dialogue dealing with a topic that is presented in the production of Dauphin Island. “A Space for Help and Healing: A Panel Discussion For Those Whose Loved Ones Have Cancer” will take place on 
Wednesday, October 2, 2019 from 6:30pm-8:30pm at Mercer County Community College’s James Kerney Campus. The event is free to the public, and will feature panelists who are cancer survivors, patient care-takers, or have studied cancer.
Passage Theatre’s mainstage season is made possible in part by the N.J. State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the NEA; the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation; The City of Trenton; WIMG 1300; The Curtis McGraw Foundation; The James Kerney Foundation; PNC Bank; Janssen Pharmaceuticals; Mary O.
