McLean and 'Screwtape Letters' in Return Off-Bway Engagement

Fellowship of the Performing Arts Theater Company announces the return engagement of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters off-Broadway at the Theatre at St. Clements October 18 - December 9 with opening night set for November 8.  The initial production of The Screwtape Letters opened at Theatre 315 in NYC in January 2006 for a limited three week run but, due to popular demand, ran for eleven sold-out weeks.

Returning to the devilish role of Screwtape will be Max McLean along with his stalwart secretary, Toadpipe, played by Karen Eleanor Wright. McLean is best known to audiences across the country for his popular theatrical presentations of Mark's Gospel, Genesis and The Screwtape Letters.

"C. S. Lewis' brilliant novel explores the spiritual warfare of souls between heaven and hell as told from demons' point of view. Beloved by both audiences and critics alike, The Screwtape Letters on stage offers a humorous and thought-provoking tale that could change the way you think about the influence of angels and demons in individual lives," describe press notes, "When first published in 1942, The Screwtape Letters brought immediate fame to a little known Oxford don whose field of study was medieval English literature. Over the past sixty years its wit and wisdom have made it one of C. S. Lewis' most widely read and influential works."

The creative team includes Cameron Anderson (scenic), Michael Bevins (costumes) Tyler Micoleau (lighting) and Bart Fasbender (sound).

Playing schedule is Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8PM; Saturday at 4PM; and Sundays at 3PM & 7PM. Tickets are $48 and are available at  www.ticketcentral.com or by calling  212-279-4200. For more information visit www.ScrewtapeOnStage.com
