one-acts. A resident of the East Bay for the past 12 years, Hakeem has performed in Misanthrope as Clemente, Bette in The Marriage of Bette and Boo, Madge in Picnic and several others. Wayne Kneeland has also been involved with 2nd Story since its inception, and plays the role of Ruella in Doors. Kneeland has also performed in many productions, including the artist in last season’s In the Next Room or the Vibrator Play and Buddy in Kimberly Akimbo. However, he says his favorite role was Elwood P. Down in Harvey. Kneeland also just celebrated 16 years as owner of the Toy Shop in Bristol.

2nd Story spent several years in temporary residences before establishing its permanent home in 2001 in the historic district of Warren. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Ed Shea and Executive Director Lynne Collinson, this year it is celebrating its tenth anniversary as Warren’s year-round resident theatre, with an annual attendance of over 18,000. With a new, intimate proscenium/ thrust stage, Communicating Doors by Alan Ayckbourn opened the doors to this anniversary season: Plays for a New Configuration. Set in the same London hotel room in the years 1974, 1994 and 2014, Communicating Doors is a terrifyingly funny, film noir-esque comedy thriller that takes audience members on a timetraveling journey as regrets are reversed, past hurts are undone, mistakes are modified, and murder gets a makeover before heading back to the future with a surprisingly sweet, happily-everafter conclusion. Of selecting Communicating Doors to open the new season, Shea says, “Nobody weaves a story like Alan Ayckbourn. No playwright that I know of toys with space and time the way that he does. His complex yet simple stories are the kinds that stay with you long after you leave the theatre.” According to Ayckbourn’s website, Communicating Doors pays homage to such well-loved science fiction films as Psycho, Back to the Future and the ‘50s black and white film noir. The doors refer to those found in adjoining hotel rooms and serve as the portal for time travel. It sounds like just the right conduit for creative use of the new stage, which was first utilized for Master Class during the summer season. This production features two East Bay performers who also celebrate their tenth anniversary with 2nd Story, Lara Hakeem and Wayne Kneeland. Hakeem, who returns after a hiatus, portrays Poopay. She started with 2nd Story when it first opened, acting and singing in the downstairs cabaret, as well as making play recommendations for the short attention span theater
