Dare to Defy Productions to Present Andrew Lippa's THE WILD PARTY

By:

Dare to Defy Productions will be bringing the stunning musical based on Joseph Moncure March's popular 1928 epic poem to Dayton- set for a limited 6 performance run at the Mathile Theatre, in the Schuster Center, April 1st - April 9th, 2016.

A steamy prohibition tale steamrolling and roaring its way across the stage, Andrew Lippa's Wild Party was an off-Broadway gem that garnered an array of industry accolades, including Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, & Obie awards. Based on Joseph Moncure March's 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written.

Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party to end all parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the colorful arrival of a slew of guests living life on the edge, Queenie's wandering eyes land on a striking man named Black. As the decadence is reaching a climax, so is Burrs' jealousy which erupts and sends him ...into a violent rage. Gun in hand and inhibitions abandoned Burrs turns on Queenie and Black. The gun gets fired, but who's been shot?

Cast includes Queenie: Natalie Sanders, Burrs: Zach King, Black: Desmond Thomas, Kate: Laura Ellen Moore, Madeline True: Samantha Creech , Mae: Hayley Penchoff, Eddie: A.J Breslin , Phil: Brennan Paulin, Oscar: Jeffery Mack, Nadine: Lisa Glover, Dolores: Danielle Kubasky , Max: Jamal Cann , Sam: T.C Schreier, Jackie: Grant Warden and Amanda Carter .
