Actors Mona and Terry are on tour with a four-hour epic opus called “Great Moments in Human Achievement.” In New Hampshire. On bicycles. While camping. The Making of a Great Moment features a play-within-a-play, and it is an uproariously funny love letter to the theatre. Or is it? Great Moment is “Likely to resonate with anyone who’s ever had doubts about personal life choices…a nonstop delight.” (San Francisco Examiner)
Bill Bowers (Rattlestick Theatre, Theater for a New Audience, New York Stage and Film) stars as Terry. Esther Williamson (Taffety Punk Theatre Co., Opera House Arts, Oregon Shakespeare Festival) stars as Mona, both making their CTC debuts.
