Albee’s play follows an older married couple (Martha and George) who invite a younger pair over for drinks and games. As the night wears on, dark secrets begin to spill out, sending both relationships on a destructive path.
The 60th anniversary production also has scenic design by Wilson Chin, costume design by Alejo Vietti, lighting design by Elizabeth Harper, original music and sound design by Lindsay Jones, fight direction by Steve Rankin, and intimacy direction by Mia Schachter. The dramaturg is Sarah Rose Leonard, the production stage manager is J. Jason Daunter, and the assistant stage manager is Kyrsten Goodrich with casting by Phyllis Schuringa.
The work follows South Korean adoptee Amanda Newton, who returns to her childhood home after her father’s death and discovers that his memories have been digitized.
The Minnesota theatre will also present Lauren M. Gunderson's new version of Little Women, Eboni Booth's Primary Trust, and more in its upcoming season.
Featuring co-creator Steven Sater reflecting on the original production and how Likes' Arizona revival reimagines its contents, the film will premiere next month.
As the National Endowment for the Arts restricts funding for organizations that fund DEI programs, the theatres reaffirm their commitment to diversity while the ACLU files a lawsuit.
A performance featuring the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, D.C. has also been removed from the organization's schedule, with both productions citing financial circumstances.
