    Hedgerow Playwright-in-Residence Nagle Jackson will direct the East Coast premiere of Bernice/Butterfly: A Two-Part Invention, featuring Ceal Phelan and Peter DeLaurier. Essentially two one-act plays, “Bernice at Bay” follows a waitress working the morning shift at a diner in a small Kansas town with a crumbling economy. In “The Butterfly Effect,” a man delivers a lecture on philosophy based on the title theory that the flapping of an insect’s wings can impact events in another part of the world. As the audience learns more about the seemingly disparate people, it’s revealed that things are not always as they first appear. Jackson says he was inspired to write the play after reading a series of articles about dying small towns. “I wrote it at a boom time in the U.S. economy,” he says, “but it has extra meaning now in tough economic times, and it could take place anywhere because there are dying towns all over the country.”
