Click HERE for the scoop! June 5-August 16, 2003 written and directed by Ian Allen and Monique LaForce based on an essay by Paul Allman Source Theatre Co. 1835 14th St., N.W.       Who can forget our collective shock and bewilderment when we opened the paper and learned of the event? October 4, 1986. Newsman and reservoir of trust, Dan Rather, walks home from dinner at a friend's house. He is accosted and savagely beaten by two well-dressed white men in their thirties. His attackers taunt him cruelly, repeating the same strange query: "Kenneth, what is the frequency?"       Three nights later, Rather addresses an anxious America. Who did it, and why? "It may never be determined."       Harper's Magazine, December 2001. In an essay entitled "The Frequency," Paul Allman reveals a startling discovery: the existence of both a running character named "Kenneth," and the phrase "What is the frequency?" within the canon of late, great short story writer Donald Barthelme. But it doesn't end there; both men are from Texas; both were at the Univ. of Houston in 1957; both later moved to NYC. And why do Barthelme's writings also refer to "CBS," "Sixty Minutes," and a lecherous editor named "Lather"? (And that's just the iceberg's tip.)       Coincidence? Perhaps. But maybe, just maybe, it is the key to the riddle that haunts our generation. "Kenneth..." documents this epic struggle between news and fiction, rational and irrational, coincidence and conspiracy, irony and idiocy, fact and faith.       The cast featured Melissa-Leigh Douglass, Chalmers Hood, Marcus Lawrence, John Tweel, Kwame Wallace, and B. Stanley (Bluebeard in Bluebeard and Dan Citzen in Cannibal Cheereladers on Crack) as the narrator.
