Blake Armitstead Joins The Cast Of DOG WHISTLE At The Loading Dock

Blake Armitstead Joins The Cast Of DOG WHISTLE At The Loading Dock ImageBlake Armitstead joins the cast of a staged reading of DOG WHISTLE, a new play by Michael Kimmel, at The Loading Dock on July 12th at 8PM.

A graduate of The New York Conservatory for the Dramatic Arts, Blake is now an integral member of the behind the scenes action of Gateway Playhouse. Favorite stage credits include White Christmas, Shrek, and The Wizard of Oz.

Dog Whistle is an incisive look into the world of modern politics - at the center of a story is a senatorial race in Ohio. Two candidates are racing to see who can abandon their principles first: the incumbent Democrat, or the Republican "change candidate." In the middle of it all is a woman who seeks help from both of them. As the campaign moves along, it becomes clear that each candidate will do anything to win, and then, a tragedy occurs. How will the candidates respond?

Dog Whistle holds a mirror up to the current state of politics, and how callow our elected representatives on both sides have become.

Armitstead joins a cast that features Loni Ackerman, Carolann DiPirro, Anthony Gasbarri, Quinn Jackson, and Nasser Metcalfe, Noah Mogaka, with additional cast members soon to be announced.

Megan Minutillo directs.

A portion the proceeds will go directly to Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

Tickets are $10, and available for purchase via loadingdockpatchogue.com.
