"Breadcrumbs" by Jennifer Haley to Take Center Stage

San Diego's fruitlessmoon theatreworks announces their next production: the San Diego premiere of Jennifer Haley's two-hander dramatic play Breadcrumbs, February 24th through March 12th, 2017 at The La Jolla Commons Theatre. Opening night performance is Friday, February 24th, 8pm. Aimee Greenberg, fruitlessmoon theatreworks's Artistic Producing Director is back on the boards after her solo show Occupy the Rice Fields and will produce, direct and perform the role of Alida in the production, along with Julia Giolzetti as Beth/Mother. The production team also includes Assistant Directors Jim Carmody and Dori Salois, as well as Projection Design by Stefani Byrd, Light and Sound Design by Verl Averett, and Morgan Tisha Kirby as the Stage Manager.

Breadcrumbs tells the story of a reclusive fiction writer diagnosed with dementia, who must depend upon a troubled young caretaker to complete her autobiography. In a symbiotic battle of wills, they delve into the dark woods of the past, unearthing a tragedy that shatters their notions of language, loneliness, and essential self.

Aimee Greenberg (Alida) is a veteran theatre artist and master teacher whose work has been produced in Europe, Asia, and the United States. Most recently she produced and directed Waiting for Godot at White Box Live Arts. She has collaborated with Grotowski, Gentile, and Boal. Greenberg is a native New Yorker who trained with Sanford Meisner, Wynn Handman, Bill Hickey, and Stella Adler. Greenberg is a recipient of multiple awards including the Rockefeller/Asian Cultural Council fellowship, Seattle Original Works, Very Special Arts, Los Angeles Women’s Foundation, Susan B. Komen Award, and The Los Angeles Endowment. Greenberg has taught performance technique, theatre, and film studies at international conservatories and universities such as JAMU, UCSD, CSLA, CSUSM and SDSU.
