Great Lakes Theater (GLT), Cleveland's Classic Company, commences the second half its 2017-18 season with Frederick Knott's classic thriller, Wait Until Dark. The production will be performed in the company's intimate and audience-friendly home at the Hanna Theatre, Playhouse Square, February 17 - March 12, 2017. Joseph Hanreddy directs the production. Wait Until Dark is presented through special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
Generous production support for Wait Until Dark was provided by Lubrizol. Great Lakes Theater is also supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture. Season support is provided by The Cleveland Foundation and the Ohio Arts Council. Media sponsors for GLT's 55th season are The FORM Group, Ideastream (WCLV 104.9 FM and WCPN 90.3 FM) and WKSU 89.7 FM. Like his infamous hit script Dial "M" for Murder, Frederick Knott's Wait Until Dark is an intense and darkly gripping thriller. A 1960s Greenwich Village apartment is the scene for a deadly game of cat and mouse when a group of con-men manipulate and terrorize an unsuspecting blind woman to reclaim a mysterious doll. When the doll can't be found, the situation spirals out of control. With murder afoot and suspense building, the woman deftly decides to "wait until dark," in an attempt to outwit her assailants. The thrills begin when the lights go out. Wait Until Dark's chilling conclusion is proof positive that what you can't see can hurt you.The Opening Night (also Press Night) performance of Wait Until Dark is scheduled for Saturday, February 18th. A preview performance is scheduled for the preceding Friday night evening (February 17th). Curtain times for all evening performances will remain at 7:30 p.m., with a 1:30 p.m. curtain time for Saturday matinees and a 3:00 p.m. curtain time for Sunday matinees. A special weekday matinee is scheduled for Wednesday, February 22 at 1:30 p.m. All GLT productions will continue to offer sign-interpreted and audio-described performances.
