Photo Flash: First Look at Mary-Arrchie's GUARDIANS, Beginning Tonight at Angel Island
Mary-Arrchie Theatre Co. will open its 30th and final season with the powerful war drama GUARDIANS by Peter Morris, directed by Arianna Soloway and featuring Jaci Entwisle and Adam Soule. GUARDIANS will play tonight, September 8, through October 18, 2015 at Angel Island, 735 W. Sheridan Rd. in Chicago. The press performance is Thursday, September 10 at 8 pm. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast onstage below!
A tour de force for two actors, GUARDIANS presents an unflinching look at the images of war. In a series of monologues, the play tells the stories of two scandals -- the infamous snapshots from Abu Ghraib prison, which depict atrocities committed by American soldiers in the name of freedom; and the strikingly similar photos of English soldiers, published by a London tabloid but later revealed as fakes. In monologues that mingle fierce irony with human warmth, a disgraced American soldier tells her story -- and a clever English journalist tells how he got his.
After presenting more than 100 productions spanning three decades, Mary-Arrchie Theatre Co. recently announced it will close its doors following its 30th anniversary season. The final season will includes three additional productions (soon-to-be-announced), plus its 28th annual Abbie Hoffman Died for Our Sins Theater Festival.
The production team for GUARDIANS includes: Grant Sabin (scenic design), Moriah Lee Turner (costume design), Claire Chrzan (lighting design), Eric Backus (sound design), Jerico Bleu (dialect coach), Mike Sanow (technical director) and Anna Micale (stage manager).
Tickets are currently available at www.maryarrchie.com, by calling (773) 871-0442 or in person at the box office.
