Photo Flash: SALOME At Sherman Playhouse

Despite the fact that this rarely seen play is over a century old, it still has the power to shock as well as enthrall. On stage, the triangular conflict between Salomé, Herod, and John the Baptist has provoked scandal. A sensuous tale of obsession and revenge, SALOMÉ is the portrait of a young
woman's passion that builds to a frenzied, erotic, and inevitable conclusion.

Under the direction of Joseph Russo of New Milford, the cast includes Katya Collazo (Manchester); Charles Roth (Waterbury); David Hutchison (Stamford); Stacy-Lee Erickson and Jimmy Bain (both New Milford); Katherine Almquist , David Almquist, and Andrew Dunlap (all Sharon); and
Rebecca-Ecchivaria-Downey, Alex Ecchivaria, Bailey McCann, and John Taylor (all Sherman).
