CRITIC’S PICK: The Smyrna Arts Council is sponsoring a limited engagement of a solo show alongside a gallery exhibit by the author and photographer Becca McCoy. This “multidisciplinary theatrical event” is based on McCoy’s experience of traveling somewhere every month for a whole year. The Year of Extraordinary Travel was originally published in book form in 2021, chronicling her journey to eight states in the US and seven other countries. It “contains short tales and hundreds of photos celebrating the relationship-deepening, horizon-expanding, joy-inducing nature of travel, and the beauty of our diverse earth and common humanity,” McCoy says. After the show opened last year at Studio Grand Central in Florida, David Warner of The Gabber Newspaper said: “Becca McCoy has created an enthralling, suspenseful, often hilarious, and ultimately profound piece of theater. An extraordinary work of art.” Alongside her one-woman show, the Firehouse will feature an exhibit of McCoy’s photography under the title Extraordinary Lives - Sites - Times. — Kevin C. Madigan
From the venue:
Becca McCoy’s real-life experience of traveling somewhere every month for a year first became a book and then a theatrical event, exploring relationships, memory, and how we fill the spaces between the “no longer” and the “not yet.” David Warner of The Gabber Newspaper said of the world-premiere production, “Becca McCoy has created an enthralling, suspenseful, often hilarious, and ultimately profound piece of theatre… an extraordinary work of art.”
