Eclectic Full Contact Theatre Announces Casting for GIDION'S KNOT

Eclectic Full Contact Theatre has announced casting for GIDION'S KNOT by Johnna Adams. The production will run in Studio Two at the Athenaeum Theatre from June 2 to July 2, 2017 under the direction of Eclectic Company Member, Katherine Siegel.

Over the course of a parent/teacher conference, a grieving mother and an emotionally overwhelmed primary school teacher have a fraught conversation about the mother's son, Gidion. Gidion may have been bullied severely -- or he may have been the abuser. As his story is slowly uncovered, the women try to reconstruct a satisfying explanation for Gidion's act and come to terms with excruciating feelings of culpability.

The play will feature company members Michelle Annette (Heather) and Julie Partyka (Corryn).

The production team includes Josh Leeper (Scenic Designer), Cathy Tantillo (Costume Designer), Rachel Lake (Lighting Designer), Justin Atkinson (Production Manager), Jessica Fisher (Properties Designer) and Brontë DeShong (Production Stage Manager).
