By: Gabrielle Sierra
National Endowment for the Arts director of theater and musical theater Ralph Remington took in the Guthrie Theater's production of God of Carnage last week in Minneapolis. Remington is no stranger to the Guthrie, having appeared in the Theater's 1998 production of The Venetian Twins. He is the founder of Pillsbury House Theatre, and served one term as a Minneapolis city council member before joining the NEA in 2010.
Christopher Hampton's translation of Yasmina Reza's 2009 Tony Award-winning play, directed by Guthrie Associate Artistic Director John Miller-Stephany, features Jennifer Blagen, Chris Carlson, Tracey Maloney and Bill McCallum as two highly-strung couples who duke it out in this 90-minute laugh-out-loud comedy.God of Carnage began performances on May 28 and continues through August 7, 2011, on the McGuire Proscenium Stage. Single tickets start at $29 and are now on sale through the Guthrie Box Office at 612.377.2224, toll-free 877.44.STAGE, 612.225.6244 (Group Sales) and online at www.guthrietheater.org.The GUTHRIE THEATER (Joe Dowling, Director) was founded by Sir Tyrone Guthrie in 1963 and is an American center for theater performance, production, education and professional training.
