Austin Playhouse Wraps 2012-13 Season with TRIUMPH OF LOVE, 6/14-7/7

Princess Leonide of Sparta has fallen hopelessly in love with Agis, the rightful heir to her kingdom. Unfortunately Agis has sworn to kill the Princess and reclaim his throne. In order to win his love, Leonide takes on a series of increasingly absurd disguises and woos not only Agis, but also his over-protective aunt and uncle. In the end she learns that true love means revealing her true self and hoping that love will indeed triumph.

Starring Sarah Zeringue as Princess Leonide, Boni Hester as Hesione, Rick Roemer as Hermocrates, Lara Wright as Corine, Huck Huckaby as Harlequin, Brian Coughlin as Dimas, and Glenn DeVar as Agis.

Triumph of Love will be produced in Austin Playhouse's temporary space at Highland Mall. The South Entrance (by the IBC bank) is closest to the theatre. Proceed down the escalator and turn right. Austin Playhouse will be on your right by the water feature.

Direction by Don Toner and Lara Toner, musical direction by Michael McKelvey, choreography by Lisa del Rosario, costume design by Glenda Barnes, set design by Patrick Crowley, lighting design by Don Day, and sound design by The Gunn Bros.
