In a simultaneous search for connection, Joe's straight-laced daughter Abigayle (Aja Naomi King) flirts with the streetwise Dexter (E.J. Bonilla) over the course of a hot July 4th evening. Adapted from Obie-winning, Pulitzer Prize-nominee Christopher Shinn's highly-acclaimed stage play, Four is full of the poetic and tender human drama of great theatre.In a nameless, suburban American town, the smell of barbeque fills the air as the Fourth of July moves from a hot summer day into the smoldering explorations of night. With raw intimacy and emotion, these four characters explore the limits and possibilities of human connection. And for just this night, the small world that they live in will become even smaller though the freedom they experience has never been so dangerous, fleeting and honest.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e \u003cspan\u003eReview\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe performance by Mr. Pierce is a courageous, bravera feat of acting. --Stephen Holden, The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpotlighting a quartet of furiously committed performances, and burnished by vivid, atmospheric lensing. --Andrew Barker, Variety\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch3\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAbout the Director\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eJOSHUA SANCHEZ (Writer\/Director) A native of suburban Houston, Texas, Joshua Sanchez earned his B.F.A. from the University of Texas in Austin.
