Photo Flash: First Look at Geva Theatre Center's THE MAY QUEEN, Opening Tonight
A new comedy by Molly Smith Metzler closes the 2015-2016 ESL Wilson Stage Series as Geva Theatre Center presents The May Queen. Directed by Amanda Charlton, The May Queen runs in the Elaine P. Wilson Stage from May 3 through May 29.
Everyone who graduated from the Kingston NY High School Class of '97 wonders what happened to their revered May Queen. Some say she became one of Spitzer's hookers; others say she married a sheik in Dubai - but when she suddenly resurfaces in town and starts temping at a small insurance agency, things are a far cry from what they expected. Gossip kicks into high gear among these classmates, turned co-workers, in this fun, fresh and savvy new office comedy with a gigantic heart.
Making their Geva Theatre Center debuts in The May Queen are Julian Leong (Netflix's "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," NBC's "Shades of Blue") as David Lund; Kathryn Meisle(Broadway's The Elephant Man (also the West End); Outside Mullingar and Tartuffe, for which she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actress), as Gail Gillespie; Peter O'Connor (Starz's "Flesh & Bone," NBC's "Mercy," "Ed" and "Book of Daniel") as Michael Petracca; Natasha Warner (feature films Farah Goes Bang and Odyssea) as Nicole Chen and Ariel Woodiwiss(Significant Other at Roundabout Theatre and The Convent of Pleasure at Cherry Lane Theatre) as Jennifer Nash.
The May Queen is directed by Amanda Charlton and the design team includes Timothy Mackabee (scenic design), Amy Clark (costume design), Ann G. Wrightson (lighting design) andBart Fasbender (sound design).
