I have spoken to many, and almost everyone knows or has someone in their life that was affected by dementia. "There is humor and light and hope and love, all the moments that we feel in real life. "The Father" director Lovett spoke about the importance in raising awareness about dementia because it affects so many, but reassures the public that the story isn't unbearably sad and has plenty of comedic moments. This unique play is a dramatic illustration of the physical losses which occur, along with the mental ones, and makes your brain hum with the unique potential of theater … perfect for the Adventure Space. Winner of the 2014 Molière Award, France’s most prestigious honor for a new work of theater, "The Father" was recently made into an Academy Award winning film. It does have some funny moments, but it's real," Pickens added. I ask that the viewers don't shy away from the story because you think it is going to be too difficult to watch. And the story could possibly reflect a viewer's life, or aspects. "Dementia is unfortunately something that affects a lot of people, and it can be hard. Pickens said that as a retired physician, he has seen the effects of dementia in some of his patients over the years, which helped him to portray the character and prepare for the role.

"The main character, Anthony, he doesn't know that he is suffering from dementia he just knows that strange things are happening around him all the time," Pickens said. This captivating play is directed by Peg Lovett and assisted by Connie Cannady.

The show is produced by GEAlive, Quatro Entertainment, Maple Tree Entertainment, the Estate of Johnny Cash, John Carter Cash, and Sandbox Succession. Among the many stops? Folsom, California (at the city’s PAC, not its prison this time). The tour kicks off October 14 with a two-night stand at the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. “I will help narrate the evening and share some intimate stories from my father’s personal life and career in music.” “My father’s music has resonated deeply with fans around the world and we’re looking forward to bringing this music experience to cities across North America,” John Carter Cash said, in a statement.

The show features narration from John Carter Cash, Cash’s only son and only child with June Carter Cash. “Johnny Cash - The Official Concert Experience” uses video from Cash’s 1970s television show projected on a large screen and couples it with a live band and singers on stage to replicate, as best as possible, the experience of seeing The Man In Black live. A new multimedia project, combining archival footage with live performance, aims to bring the late Johnny Cash into more than 85 theaters and PACs nationwide.
