"Manbites Dog Theater has been a mainstay of Durham and Triangle culture through many years of adventurous theater, but rarely has the company brought us a script as beautiful as Naomi Iizuka's At the Vanishing Point, which closes out the company's 20th season. As directed by company co-founder and artistic director Jeff Storer, the play is a moving meditation on sight and seeing, loss and memory, family and community, art and death."
- Kate Dobbs Ariail, The Independent

YOUR THOUGHTS
(Responses from our audience)
Tom F. writes:
"Simply terrific: a multi-sensory (photographic image becoming light and sound becoming movement) prismatic refraction of individual and communal memory, set in Louisville, Kentucky, and colorfully, persuasively acted: an ideal duet between postmodern fractures and downhomey naturalism. Check it out!"
