Center Repertory Company is making a notable shift with the world premiere of 'Froggy,' a thriller by Jennifer Haley that integrates elements of graphic novels and video games. The production, directed by Matt M. Morrow, represents a determined effort to focus on new works, highlighting the company's evolving artistic direction since Morrow's appointment as Artistic Director. The script was inspired by Haley’s experiences with 'play bake-offs' under Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel, melding creativity with contemporary themes of mischief and adventure, promising a refreshing change for Walnut Creek's theater scene.
Haley's previous local show was 'The Nether,' and she aimed to write 'Froggy' in the style of a graphic novel, reflecting a blend of innovation and storytelling.
Morrow emphasized that 'Froggy' signifies the start of Center Rep's commitment to new work, indicating a shift away from traditional programming towards more edgy and contemporary pieces.
