Fells Point Corner Theatre Presents FOLLOWING SARAH as Part of Baltimore Playwrights Festival, 8/3-26

Maddy, Kat and Julia are high-achieving, super-stressed seniors on the Cross Country team at Thwaite Academy. An email from their former teammate, Sarah, threatens to push them over The Edge. Why? Because Sarah died after winning last year's Cross Country Championship.

Rich Espey is a playwright and teacher, living in Baltimore. His plays have been produced throughout the United States, including an Equity Showcase production of Hope's Arbor in New York City.

Featured in the cast are: Sarah Gorman as Kat, Emily Sucher as Maddy, Grace Yeon as Julia, Rachel Reckling as Kenya, and Kaitlin McMullin as Sarah. Mike Zemarel will play every other role, from an athletic shoe to a moth larva.
