Perfectly spooky for the Halloween season, LANGUAGE OF ANGELS begins in a cave on the edge of a rural North Carolina town where a teenaged girl, Celie, went missing years before. One of her eight friends is responsible for her death and her ghostly, echoed cries will haunt each of them forever. Woven together are the parallel paths each friend takes that lead to their own tragic fates. Hidden beneath the scary, mysterious exterior, LANGUAGE OF ANGELS is a moving and deeply heartfelt play."What gives LANGUAGE OF ANGELS its strangeness, and a certain eerie magnetism, is that all the questions, pastpresentfuture, float around the stage simulataneously, unstuck from characters and chronology. Additionally, the play gives its most lyrical speeches to people who are insistently inarticulate. The angels are tarnished, earthbound, and their language has a kind of brute poetry."- Liz Nicholls, Edmonton Journal "Great theater creates a trance and weaves the audience into a world with its own irrefutable logic and connections. That's what happens in LANGUAGE OF ANGELS , Naomi Iizuka's splendidly realized drama about small-town tragedies. Language is about the sort of marginal, working-class lives short story writer Raymond Carver chronicled. Like Carver, Iizuka celebrates the struggle and humanity and imploded despair of her characters without sentimentalizing it or condescending."-San Francisco ChronicleCASTJake Jones- SethRachel Mock- KendraElizabeth Wigley- CelieJohn Wehrman- JBCaroline Kidwell- Allison Sam Bianchini- DanielleCREATIVE TEAMKristin Davis- DirectorAmanda Grissom- Stage ManagerKellian Keeler- Set & Props DesignSamuel Fitzwater-Butchart- Sound DesignMarissa Geocaris- Lighting DesignNathaniel Negron- Technical DesignIMPORTANT INFORun time: 90 minutes with no intermissionLocation: Piven Theatre at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center, 927 Noyes St, Evanston, IL 60201Getting there: Steps from the Noyes Purple L stop; parking lot and off-street parking availableCost: Pay-what-you-canReserve tickets: threecrowstheatre.com or 312.469.0274
