Photo Flash: First Look at BECKY SHAW at Windy City Playhouse
Previews continue this weekend for Gina Gionfriddo's "Becky Shaw," playing now through November 12. Under the direction of Jeff Award winner Scott Weinstein, the dark comedy stars Carley Cornelius as the titular character, an emotionally-fragile single woman swept up in the chaos of a blind-date gone array. Press nights for the production are Thursday, Sept. 28 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
The cast of "Becky Shaw" also features Michael Doonan as Max Garrett, Suzanne Petri as Susan Slater, Michael Aaron Pogue as Andrew Porter and Amy Rubenstein as Suzanna Slater.
Windy City Playhouse's intimate venue aims to make audience members part of the action. Scenic designer for "Becky Shaw" Jeffrey Kmiec has conceived a uniquely immersive, 360-degree viewing experience to make viewing as exclusive as possible. 70 of Windy City Playhouse's signature club chair-style seats will be integrated into the three-stage modular set that will transform each night into seven unique locations.
The creative team for "Becky Shaw" includes Jeffrey D. Kmiec (Scenic Design), Rachel M. Sypniewski (Costume Design), Brandon Wardell (Lighting Design), Eric Backus (Sound Design) and Jamie Karas (Properties Design). Mara Filler is the Production Stage Manager and Johnnie Schleyer is the Technical Director.
Tickets ($15-$55) are on sale now and can be purchased at the Windy City Playhouse Box Office online or by calling the Box Office at (773) 891-8985.
