By: Feb. 28, 2011

Guest artist and Jeff-nominee, Chuck Spencer, as the title character, and Redtwist leading lady, Jan Ellen Graves, spearhead a stellar cast in this Pulitzer-finalist by Tracy Letts.

The Play
Have you ever lost faith in anything dear to you...your family, career, spouse, leaders, ethics, God? What happens when the soul unravels and a man heads for the hills? Whether from a crisis of faith or just a plain old mid-life crisis, rock-solid Midwesterner, Ken Carpenter, leaves his loving wife and good job to find some answers in the bohemian underbelly of hipster London...and life will never be the same.
