ArtsWest Announces FROZEN

ArtsWest is pleased to announce FROZEN, the Tony Award-nominated play about a serial killer and two women who track him down, opening at the ArtWest Playhouse and Gallery on April 20. Performances will run Thursday through Sunday until May 14.

As Ralph, a serial killer with a heart of ice, sits in prison contemplating crimes, two women cross the country to confront him - Agnetha, a psychologist who studies the minds of monsters, and Nancy, mother to one of his young victims. When their paths finally cross, they explore the dark side of human nature and our capacity for change. The ArtsWest production of FROZEN features a meeting of two Seattle acting powerhouses - Amy Thone (THE TRIAL, TITUS ANDRONICUS) as Nancy and Peter Crook (Mozart in Broadway's touring cast of AMADEUS, INTIMAN's ANGELS IN AMERICA and more) as Ralph. Rounding out the cast is Jonelle Jordan as Agentha, making her ArtsWest debut.

FROZEN is directed by ArtsWest Artistic Director Mathew Wright, whose recent ArtsWest credits include the acclaimed production of GHOSTS, last season's DEATH OF A SALESMAN, 4000 MILES, DOGFIGHT, and more. Scenic Designer Christopher Mumaw (DEATH OF A SALESMAN, VIOLET, and LITTLE WOMEN: THE MUSICAL) and Lighting Designer Ryan Dunn (MY MAÑANA COMES and ANGRY HOUSEWIVES) team up again after their celebrated work on MOTHERS AND SONS.
