Winning back the girl he left behind at 'The Pavilion'
Review by Margaret Gray
Craig Wright's often-produced play "The Pavilion", now in a lovely revival at Malibu Playhouse, takes place in the early 2000s, in the fictional town of Pine City, Minn. (That's where Wright, who also has a long list of TV writing credits including "Six Feet Under," "Lost" and "Dirty Sexy Money," has set a number of plays.)
But the narrator of "The Pavilion," a mysterious, dapper young man all in black (Jason Lott), seems to think more context is required to set the scene: He takes us all the way back to the beginning of the universe, summing up the cosmic events that, over eons, finally gave rise to the play's protagonist, a thirty-something guy named Peter (Chris Payne Gilbert), who has just driven in to attend his 20th high-school reunion.

See Chris in THE PAVILION - April 30- May 22, 2016
/ 14 April 2016
The Pavilion
by Craig Wright
Directed by Jeremy Skidmore
From the Emmy nominated writer of Six Feet Under. Peter (Chris Payne Gilbert) returns to his twenty-year high school reunion with dreams of winning back Kari (Leslie Murphy), the girl he left behind after an unexpected pregnancy ended their relationship. Standing in Peter’s way is Kari’s resentment, an entire village of characters (all played by a single virtuosic Narrator-Jason Lott), and the momentum of space and time all converging on a single moment in one small town.
