Jump

In the whimsically theatrical world of Jump, lights flicker, secrets are revealed, and a young woman finds solace on a bridge. At once heartbreaking, hilarious, and hopeful, Jump is about the connections we share - with family, with friends, with strangers - the connections that bind us together and heal our hearts.

Written by Charly Evon Simpson, co-recipient of the Lanford Wilson Award, and directed by Shrewd Artistic Director, Shannon Grounds; Jump stars Chelsea Manasseri (B. Iden Payne Award Winner for Best Lead Actress in a Drama), Allegra Jade Fox, and Trey Deason, and features set design by Indigo Rael, lighting design by Patrick Anthony, sound design by Nick Hart, and costume design by Kaylee Silcocks.

Jump is produced by Shrewd Productions as a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. Other partnering theaters are PlayMakers Repertory Company (Chapel Hill), Confrontation Theatre and Milago (Portland), and Actors Express (Atlanta) with support from the David Goldman Fund for New American Plays.
