Jackalope to Open 7th Season with CRUMBLE; Full Cast Announced!

By:

Jackalope has announced the full casting and production team for the first show of its 7th season, Crumble (Lay Me Down Justin Timberlake). The show runs November 13 - December 20, 2014 at Broadway Armory Park, 5917 N Broadway. Tickets are available October 1 via jackalopetheatre.org.

The cast features Curtis Jackson (Justin Timberlake/Harrison Ford/Father), Kristen MaGree (Janice), Tim Parker (The Apartment), Charlesanne Rabensburg (Mother), and Rachel Slavick (Barbara).

Crumble (Lay Me Down Justin Timberlake) is written by Sheila Callaghan, and directed by Jackalope Artistic Director AJ Ware.

It's Christmas again - the first one since the accident that killed Janice's father. For a preteen misfit, solace lies in headless dolls and visits from a flying Justin Timberlake, while Mother makes elaborate dinners for no one and confesses her fears to Harrison Ford. Under a decaying roof with a voice all its own, mother and daughter are caught in an endless loop of holiday rituals, while The Apartment begs for their care lest he be forced to take action on his own terms. Janice and Justin have a plan of their own, though, that promises to break the loop in their lives... one way or another. With her signature dark humor, Sheila Callaghan's ingenious language sculpts a narrative of an aftermath that is irreverently odd, acutely genuine, and absurdly hilarious.

The production team for Crumble (Lay Me Down Justin Timberlake) includes: Megan Truscott (scenic design), Company Member Claire Sangster (lighting design), Sarah Jo White (costume design), Thomas Dixon (sound design), Corinne Bass (props design), Jen Dorman (graphic design), Allison Raynes (production stage manager), Rachel Hayes (assistant stage manager), Kayla Anderson (assistant director), Gordon Granger (technical director), Elana Boulos (casting director), and Danielle Stack (production manager).
