Photo Flash: WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THUNDER? At WTF Through 8/2
Artistic Director Nicholas Martin presents the second Nikos Stage show of the 2009 season, What is the Cause of Thunder? by Noah Haidle (Saturn Returns, Mr. Marmalade) playing through August 2.
The two-person cast features Betty Gilpin (Boy's Life, Good Boys and True) and Wendie Malick ("Just Shoot Me," Confessions of a Shopaholic, Blithe Spirit). The design team for What is the Cause of Thunder? features set designer Alexander Dodge, costume designer Nikki Moody, lighting designer Jeff Croiter, and sound design and original music by Fitz Patton. The production stage manager is David Sugarman. The show is directed by Justin Waldman.
In What Is The Cause Of Thunder?, after 27 years on the same soap opera, Ada is starting to confuse her art and her life. But after so many years of acting, her art is her life. Noah Haidle's poignant comedy brings us the hilarity of day-time drama alongside the harsher, but often equally funny, realities of life.
