Photo Flash: Rivendell Theatre Ensemble Presents GRIZZLY MAMA

Set in an Alaskan cabin where Deb, a divorced suburban mom is attempting to reinvent herself as a righteous, liberal avenger is Grizzly Mama -- the final production of Rivendell's 2016 season "The Body Politic" in which the political is deeply personal. Deb is fresh from the funeral for her recently deceased, famous activist mother. Her daughter, Hannah, is a typical texting teenager - that is, until she discovers the real reason why mom moved them next door to a certain Alaskan presidential candidate. A dark comedy about motherhood, murder and moose.

The cast includes Tara Mallen as Deb, Taylor Blim as Hannah and Jenna Ebersberger as Laurel.

The show is directed by Megan Carney. The design team includes RTE members Megan Wilkerson (set), Janice Pytel (costumes), Diane Fairchild (lights), with Sarah Putts(sound) and Jamie Karas (props). The fight choreographer is David Blixt. The stage manager is Jenniffer J. Thusing.
