Through story and song, Margaret Curry explores, forages, stimulates, and delights in the universes between the present and the future, the good and the bad, the yesterdays and the moments at hand, the hope and the wonder of what’s-to-come. Through compositions by Johnny Mercer, Yip Harburg, Chaka Khan, Roy Orbison, Jimmy Webb, and more, Curry tells her story (and most probably some of ours!)
An award-winning actress, it’s no surprise Margaret is drawn to the poetic realism of Tennessee Williams and the raw humanity of Lanford Wilson. Reprising Wilson’s The Moonshot Tape, Off-Broadway, she’s coming to the London cabaret stage straight from its debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Awarded the Bistro Award for The Space In-Between and nominated as the Manhattan Association of Cabaret and Club Awards for Best Female Vocalist, Margaret is traveling with this one-of-a-kind cabaret, backed by the multi-awarded team of Lina Koutrakos/Director and Gregory Toroian/Musical Director, with Skip Ward on Bass and David Silliman on Drums.
“…a lovely vocal instrument—robust and crystal clear, applied to each song with focus and intent.” – Marilyn Lester, NiteLife Exchange
“This is someone who really knows how to tell her stories in song with effortless style. Her well-scripted patter allowed each song to come from the heart and what better statement is that?” – Ron Fassler, Theater Pizzazz
“The Space In-Between is “…a mix of songs and sensational stories told in between them…Curry displayed a fine comic flair…the entire evening was conceived with genuine intelligence.” – Bart Greenberg, Cabaret Scenes
“…excellent storyteller with strong acting skills that augment her vocal interpretations…The show is well-constructed, with good pacing and top-notch musical backing.” – Andrew Poretz, Theater Pizzazz

As she responds to the questions of an unseen local journalist, her answers weave a poignant tale of self-discovery. Written with typical Wilson poetic storytelling and raw emotion, it explores the flashpoints in life where choices are made and destinies are altered. Performed by Margaret Curry.

Performed by Margaret Curry and Geoff Stoner. The second, a monologue, shifts to a Manhattan police station, where a tense interrogation about a mysterious crime evolves into a poignant meditation on love and commitment. Contrasting in tone yet deeply connected, these plays explore human relationships with Wilson’s signature depth and nuance. Performed by Geoff Stoner.

Consulting Producer Toni Bashinelli.
What Critics Have Said:
“Deep Flight Productions” launches with a powerful staging of Landford Wilson’s evening of one-act plays, “The Moonshot Tape” and “A Poster of the Cosmos.”
I want to give a special nod to the superb direction of Mark Cirnigliaro, which the two actors, Geoff Stoner, as Tom, (“A Poster of the Cosmos”) a crime suspect who is being interviewed by the police, and Margaret Curry*, as Diane, (“The Moonshot Tape”) a writer with a secret returning to her hometown to be interviewed by a high school reporter, maneuver precisely through the roller coaster of feelings demanded by the stories they each need to tell, with each turn of feeling marked distinctly by a change in demeanor and delivery...The pressure of telling ignites pained emotions in each character. The performances by Stoner and Curry were powerful and heartbreaking. Spectators at this performance were visibly moved by these actors.
The set, designed by Bethanie Wampol Watson, was richly designed with a moving piece that marked the transition between the plays with a dramatic thud...the set did move the players closer to the audience to promote a certain, effective claustrophobia within their inescapable stories. Dramatic lighting by Zack Gage; subtle, thematic costume colors contributed by Noa Smidt; and projection/ sound design by Jeff Watson synthesized a unified approach to the mise-en-scène. Multi-talented Stage Manager Cat Gillespie wrangled the performance to a satisfying, if draining, emotional close.
Margaret Curry, whose credits include stage acting, film directing and acting, and a cabaret show, “The Space In-Between,” has taken on an ambitious mission with Deep Flight, seeking in her productions “to go to the difficult places, to find the life that wants to break through the cracks.” It’s a good time in our history to turn our attention to the struggles of the individual and Curry is committed to going there.
This production was bursting with possibilities, and I look forward to enjoying what’s to come from Deep Flight Productions.

MERRY GOOD ENOUGH REVIEWS:
“We care about these people and it was a pleasure to spend time with a family crafted with such honesty. This is an affectionate and warm-hearted tale rich in feeling and character; a moving tribute to connection, family, and the holiday spirit.
-Anthony Francis, The Movie Revue
“If you are drowning in the whipped cream froth of traditional holiday fare and can’t find a movie that reflects your difficult feelings about the time of year, then Merry Good Enough is the best gift you could give yourself this season.”
-Michael Talbot-Haynes, Film Threat
"The film feels real in a way that many audiences will find familiar — specifically, the imperfect familial relationships that belie the colorful surface perfection of the holiday tableau."
- Annette Hinkle, 27East
