Indoor Cats at Red Theater

Red Theater is thrilled to present our second show of the 22/23 season: Mora V. Harris’ INDOOR CATS, directed by co-Artistic Director Wyatt Kent.

The production features Karylin Veres as Jules (u/s Theresa Liebhart), Julia Rowley as Willa (u/s Kelsey McGrath), Ian Maryfield as Pete (u/s Harrison Lampert), and Sarah Wisterman as Panda (u/s Tess Galbiati). Tickets are available now at www.redtheater.org.

“Recently dumped filmmaker Jules, is holed up with her cat at her parents cabin in Central Pennsylvania, watching her career dreams dry up in the face of the pandemic and screening her infuriatingly competent sister’s calls. When she flirtatiously encounters her Naturalist neighbor Pete, she begins a foray into the bizarre world of making films for feline viewing. Faced with uncertainty both personal and global, Jules must use instinct to decide who gives her art, and life, meaning, even when it’s feeling more and more like the end of the world.” - New Play Exchange
