Ivy Crest Theatre Co. Will Produce STRANGE SNOW Benefitting Tunnels to Towers Foundation

We’re hardly strangers! Ivy Crest Theatre Co. is coming back to New York with a production of Strange Snow written by Stephen Metcalfe and directed by David Newer. The production will run from June 20 to 28, with all proceeds being donated to the Tunnels to Towers Foundation. 

Strange Snow tells the story of David, a Vietnam War veteran living with his sister Martha. Their quiet life is turned on its head when David’s former comrade, Megs, arrives, who forces them to confront the ghosts of their shared past. Martha gets invested in their dynamic, and a surprising romance blooms. 

The Tunnels to Towers Foundation is a Staten Island-based non-profit that gives Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children mortgage-free homes. The organization also builds “smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders,” according to its website. The organization was founded after 9/11, and is committed to ensuring America “Never Forgets.” 

“Being able to produce Stephen Metcalfe’s meaningful show and donate our proceeds to this meaningful cause makes this journey all the more worth it,” Ivy Crest Theatre Co. Executive Director James McCloskey said in a statement.

Director Newer has previously worked on Eden End, The Blue Room, The Last Supper, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, and more. Newer also teaches at the William Esper Studio and is a performer. The play will star James McCloskey as Megs, Rob Minardi as David, and Niki Sawyer as Martha. 

 Strange Snow runs June 20 to 28 at The Chain Theatre on West 36th Street in New York City. For tickets and more information, visit here.
