Photos: First Look at RIPE FRENZY at Synchronicity Theatre

Atlanta's Synchronicity Theatre opened the rolling premiere of Jennifer Barclay's new play, Ripe Frenzy on April 13th!

The winner of the 2016 NNPN Smith Prize for Political Theatre, Ripe Frenzy tells the story of a mass shooting in a small American town. Told from multiple points of view, and through the lens of Thornton Wilder's classic play, Our Town, Barclay examines all sides of a tragedy that has ruptured the spirit of a once idyllic community. The production runs through May 6th.

Obie Award-Winning projection designer, Jared Mezzocchi, who has collaborated with Barclay on workshops of Ripe Frenzy, has embedded media design into the production, creating its own "character" in the play.

Ripe Frenzy is directed by Synchronicity Theatre's Producing Artistic Director Rachel May, and will feature Scenic Design by Barrett Doyle, Costume Design by Hollis Smith, Sound Design by Kacie Willis, Lighting Design by Joel Coady and Properties Design by Jillian Haughey.

The cast includes Atlanta-based actors Taylor Dooley as Zoe, Danyé Evonne as Felicia, Megan Cramer as Miriam, Lizzy Liu as Hadley/Bethany, and Parker Ciliax as Matt/Bryan James McNamara.
