Dark Matters Offers Talkback on December 3

Following the Sunday, December 3rd performance of Dark Matters at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, director Trip Cullman and actors Elizabeth Marvel, Justin Chatwin, and Michael Cullen will participate in a talk-back with the audience.   Sol Lieberman, Marketing Director for Rattlestick, will moderate the discussion.

"In a house at the end of a cornfield, something almost beyond belief is happening to the Cleary family.  A woman disappears, then returns talking of otherworldly beings.  Is she lying? Or are even darker forces at work, threatening to destroy a family already on the brink of falling apart?," as press notes describe the show.

The cast includes: Reed Birney (Pen, Volunteer Man), Justin Chatwin (NY stage debut, War of the Worlds and the upcoming The Invisible), Michael Cullen (Cobb, Bug)  and Elizabeth Marvel ( Seascape, Hedda Gabler).

The creative team is comprised of Wilson Chin (sets), Matt Richards (lights), Katherine Roth (costumes), Shane Rettig (sound) and Michael Friedman (original music). Emily Ellen Roberts is Production Stage Manager.
