*************************
“I wrote STILL because I was struggling with some big questions... what to do when you love someone, but you hate some of the things they believe... and what to do when there’s someone you can’t be with but you also can’t manage to forget.” -Lia Romeo
“Lia Romeo has written a play that I feel I’ve waited for my whole life. What an honor!”
- Tony Award nominee Jayne Atkinson.
"This play is funny, moving, thought provoking, and endlessly surprising and as an actor and for an audience that's an exciting combination of elements.”
- Emmy Award nominee Tim Daly
“STILL packs a powerful punch but it has a lot of fun along the way.”—Rutland Herald

ABOUT COLT COEUR
Colt Coeur is a Brooklyn-based theatre company founded in 2010. Our original, story-driven, visceral theatre embraces the power of intimate live performance—it pulls you close and doesn’t let go. Our community of artists nurtures and invests in diverse perspectives to produce work that challenges the boundaries between tradition and experimentation. We embrace the ambivalence, terror and exhilaration of our time with theatre that is an antidote to the pervasive cultural illness of loneliness. We explore themes of coming-of-age, individual and collective identity, nostalgia and history, public versus private, love, lust, and loss. Through our unique collective process, every theatre artist—actor, playwright, designer—takes part in shared invention and collaborative creation; creating heart- and mind-opening audience experiences unlike any other. We nurture the next generation of theatre artists by providing access, education and a professional pipeline, while amplifying voices and perspectives that have historically been sidelined.
Our 24-member ensemble of actors, designers, playwrights, and directors incubates the next generation of theatre artists through the development and production of new plays—which we create from scratch. Over 13 years, Colt Coeur has produced 17 world premieres, one East Coast premiere, developed nearly 50 plays, and provided free arts intensives for over 200 students. We pride ourselves on being a laboratory for exploration while also nurturing the work of emerging artists and providing them a launch pad for their visions. Colt Coeur has a tremendous reputation among artists and audiences alike. The company is renowned for its high artistic standards, and artists who work with Colt Coeur have gone on to contribute to and excel in every level of the entertainment industry.
