THE STORY: Hailed by critics as an "an Our Town for our time," this play is by turns poetic and comic, romantic and philosophical. Peter returns to his twenty-year high-school reunion with dreams of winning back Kari, the girl he left behind after an unexpected pregnancy ended their relationship. Standing in Peter's way is Kari's bitter-as-ever resentment, her husband and the fact that Peter still hasn't grown up. As the night progresses, both Peter and Kari are led, through their interactions with a host of characters all played by a virtuosic Narrator, to face the consequences of choices made long ago and start back into life with newfound strength and bittersweet resolve.

"Wright has taken a simple premise and invested it with poetry, feeling and a distinctive voice[He] manages a seamless blend of humor and pathos, philosophy and emotionThe script's greatest strength lies in the genuineness of its feelings." - Houston Chronicle. "THE PAVILION offers a cheery existentialism - asking big questions in an easygoing, casual wayIt boasts language that's rich but not denseIt also honors your intellectual and emotional intelligence, eschewing easy answers. Bravo" - Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune. "Wright's perceptive, gently witty writingmakes this familiar situation fresh and thoroughly involving." - Philadelphia Inquirer. "THE PAVILION, a gloriously theatrical treat by Craig Wright, turns the dramas of ordinary lives into the patchwork pattern of the universe." - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
