A Rolling World Premiere by Aurora Real de Asua

Three retired women, decades-long friends who are pushing 70, are the focus of the world premiere of Aurora Real de Asua's poignant comedy WIPEOUT directed by Rivendell's artistic director Tara Mallen. Set on surfboards, WIPEOUT is a poignant comedy about friendship, grief, and the unpredictable tides of life. 

WIPEOUT tells the story of three women staring down the mouth of 70, friends for decades, who throw themselves into their first-ever surfing lesson with the help of a young instructor. As the women learn how to paddle and navigate the currents of the Pacific Ocean, they also learn how to navigate their friendships, their fears, and just how hard it can be to let it all go. 

The cast includes Glenn Obrero, Meg Thalken, Cindy Gold and Celeste Williams. The production is part of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere.
