Photo Flash: First Look at Route 66 Theatre Company's World Premiere of THE SOURCE

Route 66 Theatre Company will launch its ninth season with the world premiere of Gabriel McKinley's psychological drama THE SOURCE, directed by Jason Gerace, playing tonight, March 2, through April 2, 2017 at The Den Theatre, 1333 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago. The press opening is Tuesday, March 7 at 7:30 pm. THE SOURCE features Kristina Valada-Viars and Cody Proctor, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at the duo onstage below!

On the hunt for the biggest story of their careers, two journalists are summoned to travel across the world to meet with The Source: an unidentified leaker of hacked documents and information on the U.S. government. As these strangers probe one another for the truth and information, they find themselves in a thrilling psychological drama that leads them to examine their motives, their country and themselves... all while waiting for The Source.

Director Jason Gerace comments, "The question of 'privacy versus security' is central to our time, and I could not be more pleased that Route 66 Theatre Company has agreed to take it on. McKinley's play tackles this question with urgency and frames it in a way that resonates in the current moment, while building a thrilling theatrical experience for the audience. I am beyond excited to be at the helm of the world premiere of this important new play."

The production team for THE SOURCE includes: Jack McGaw (scenic design), Claire Margaret Chrzan (lighting design), Christopher Kriz (sound design), Mark Comiskey (projection design), Rachel Sypniewski (costume design), Pauline Oleksy (props design), Catherine Allen (production manager), Brian Sprague (technical director), Nancy Staiger (stage manager) and Matthew Bonaccorso (asst. stage manager).
