Happy Medium Theatre Opens Sixth Season with LANGUAGE OF ANGELS, Now thru 11/1
Happy Medium Theatre (HMT) opens its 6th season with Language of Angels by Naomi Iizuka. Heading up the production is award-winning and widely-praised Boston Fringe director, Lizette M. Morris (DOG SEES GOD: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead, HMT, Elliot Norton Award Outstanding Fringe Production). The production runs for two weeks (today, October 23rd - Nov. 1st, 2014) as the final show at the Factory Theatre, 791 Tremont Street, Boston, MA, 02118.
Language of Angels by Naomi Iizuka is a haunting tale that begins in a cave on the edge of a rural North Carolina town, where a young girl once went missing. One of nine friends is responsible for her death, yet her ghostly, echoed cries will haunt each of them forever. Iizuka weaves together the parallel paths each friend takes that lead to their own tragic fates. Her ghost story morphs into a multi-layered musing on grief, loss, guilt and karma, and the elusive truth behind the missing girl's life and death reveals itself one piece at a time. Hidden beneath the scary, mysterious exterior, Language of Angels is ultimately a touching and deeply heartfelt play. As the surviving friends come to terms with their own mortality, they must also face the truth about their childhood and the regret and guilt their mistakes have caused them.
The show will star 8 up-and-coming Fringe actors including: Mike Budwey as JB, David D'Andrea as Michael, Matthew Fagerberg as Billy, Nick Miller as Seth, Lesley Anne Moreau as Danielle, Michelle Rubich as Allison, Alexis Scheer as Celie, and Jackie Theoharis as Kendra*. The performance will also feature a 6 person ensemble with: Kendall Aiguier, Elizabeth Battey, Mikey DiLoreto, Kim Klasner, Eliott Purcell, and Allison Seibold.
*Please note that Kiki Samko will replace Jackie Theoharis as Kendra on 10/31 and 11/1.
