Cast Set for THE RED LION at Eclectic Full Contact Theatre

Eclectic Full Contact has revealed the cast and crew for the their final show of season 14, The Red Lion, by Patrick Marber, at the Bramble Arts Loft.

When a small-time football club brings on a promising new recruit, it seems the team may finally step into the spotlight. But as the star rookie's future proves lucrative for those around him, he's thrown into a battle of principles between the team's money-hungry manager and its caretaker still pining for the glory days. Both a love letter to the sport and an examination of its less savory traditions, THE RED LION delves behind the scenes of Britain's most beloved pastime, and the familial bonds-and strains-that sports teams create.

The cast includes Daniel Houle (he/him) as Yates, Octavio Montes de Oca (he/him) as Jordan, and Andrew Pond (he/him) as Kidd, with Colin Commager (he/him) as the Yates understudy, Ronnie Lyall (he/him) as the Jordan understudy, and Kaden Connor (he/him) as the Kidd understudy.

The production team includes director Stephanie Murphy (she/her), stage manager Sean Smyth (he/him), sound designer Kate Schnetzer (she/her), lighting designer Michael Meschbach (he/him), set designer Jeremiah Barr (he/him), Costume Designer Jennifer M. Hawk (she/they), prop designer Jessica Lauren Fisher (she/her), dramaturg Chloe Adamo (she/her/they/them), and production manager Daniel Houle (he/him).

The Red Lion runs May 1–16, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00 p.m.
