ABOUT MEET THE CARTOZIANS
Part riveting historical drama, part scorching satire, Talene Monahon’s MEET THE CARTOZIANS pulls back the curtain on a startling chapter of American history you may never have heard.
This bold, witty new play follows two sets of Armenian Americans: one man fighting for legal recognition in the 1920s, while a century later, his descendant fights for followers and a competent glam team. A wildly imaginative and deeply compelling story of culture and heritage, MEET THE CARTOZIANS asks who gets to belong—and at what cost?
MEET THE CARTOZIANS features scenic design by Tatiana Kahvegian, costume design by Enver Chakartash, lighting design by Stacey Derosier, sound design by Lee Kinney, and hair, wig and make-up design by Robert Pickens and Katie Gell. The Voice and Dialect Coach is Gigi Buffington. Casting is by Daniel Swee, CSA.
