On a country road, beneath a barren tree, two vagabonds wait for a man named Mr. Godot. As the evening unfolds, a desperate, humorous, and unchanging universe is revealed that has delighted and challenged audiences for over half a century. Resident Artist Ron OJ Parson (Seven Guitars) returns to direct this absurdist classic with an all-star cast featuring Court Theatre favorites A.C. Smith, Allen Gilmore, and Alfred H. Wilson. As elusive as it is illuminating, Waiting for Godot offers a haunting meditation on the meaning of human existence.

The cast of Waiting for Godot includes Allen Gilmore (Vladimir), Alex Henderson (Boy), Anthony Lee Irons (Lucky), A.C. Smith (Pozzo), Oscar Vasquez (Boy) and Alfred H. Wilson (Estragon).

The creative team includes Courtney O'Neill (scenic design), Nan Cibula-Jenkins (costume design), Lee Keenan (lighting design), Toy Delorio (sound design), Amanda Weener-Fredrick (production stage manager) and Claire E. Zawa (assistant stage manager).
