A New Play by Erik Gernand
Directed by John J. Wooten
September 9-26
In Year One, a populist’s rise to
power exacerbates mounting political and social divisions. When Anna’s
brother Max arrives unexpectedly, harboring a dangerous secret, the family
matriarch is forced to choose between embracing a radical new country or
saving those she loves.
The
Company
Erik Gernand’s play The Beautiful Dark
premiered to rave reviews in 2013 at Premiere Stages. The production was
nominated for an American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award and
the play was subsequently produced in New York and published. The cast includes Premiere favorites Kathy
McCafferty (The Wake, 2019) and Kate Kearney-Patch (Foster Mom,
2017). New to the company is Kevin Loreque, most recently seen in Godfather of Harlem
with Vincent D’Onofrio and on Pose opposite Billy Porter; Kaitlyn
Lunardi, whose credits include The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and
In the
Heights; and Eric Phelps, who played the title character
in Off-Broadway’s Pip’s Island.
