Rattlesnake opened yesterday! That's right, John Hardy is here in Asheville and we had the first performance last night here at NC Stage. If you haven't heard yet, the Mountain Xpress declared Rattlesnake a "Smart Bet" in this week's issue. If that doesn't do it for you, we've got some familiar faces from our stage - Andrew Livingston and Julia VanderVeen - to vouch for John Hardy and his great work.
"I saw John Hardy play George in Of Mice and Men at the Barter Theatre in Abingdon, VA. He is a truly remarkable actor. He understands the specificity of action and conflict through given circumstances like no other. And he's an interesting human being making him engaging to watch on stage."
-- Andrew Livingston

"John Hardy is the single person from whom I have learned the most about acting. He is an amazingly committed, giving artist. And Katy Brown, director of Rattlesnake, is the other person whom I have learned the most about acting from in the world. They together took me from being a "performer" to being an artist."
On Rattlesnake: "You will be shocked how one man can transform himself into 16 different characters and tell a very full story, and you will leave the theatre changed. It is an honor for me to even be in the same room as John Hardy and every time I watch him work I learn something and yearn to better myself as an actor and as a person."
-- Julia VanderVeen
