Coeurage Theatre Company Presents ANDRONICUS, Opens July 12 at Lyric-Hyperion Theatre & Cafe

Coeurage Theatre Company, LA's 'Pay What You Want' Company, has announced the second production of its 2014 season, Andronicus, adapted and directed by Coeurage artistic director Jeremy Lelliott. There will be one preview performance on Friday, July 11 at 8pm and opening is set for Saturday, July 12 at 8pm. Andronicus will play through August 17 at Coeurage's new home, the Lyric-Hyperion Theatre & Cafe in Silver Lake.

Deliciously twisted humor gives way to unexpected poignancy in this bold take on William Shakespeare's original horror play The Lamentable Tragedy of Titus Andronicus. Reveling in the darkest corners of human nature, Andronicus is a streamlined adaptation of Shakespeare's most violent play; the bard's masterful dramatic structure and brutal tale of revenge have been carefully preserved.

The cast will feature (in alphabetical order) Brian Abraham, Anthony Mark Barrow, Ted Barton, Gabriel Di Chiara, Kaitlyn Gault, Doug Harvey, Mark Jacobson, Zach Kanner, John Klopping, Nardeep Khurmi, TJ Marchbank, John McKetta, Katie Pelensky, Paul Romero, Chris Salazar, and Rebekah Tripp.

Scenic design is by Dean Cameron, lighting design is by Tito Fleetwood Ladd, costume design is by Kara McLeod, and sound design is by Joseph V. Calarco. Choreography is by Tiffany Cole with fight choreography by TJ Marchbank. Stage manager is Emily Goodall.

Andronicus will play one preview performance on Friday, July 11 at 8pm and opening is set for Saturday, July 12 at 8pm. The regular running schedule is as follows - Fridays, July 18, 25 and August 1, 8, and 15 at 8pm; Saturdays, July 26 and August 9 at 8pm; Sundays, July 20 and August 3 and 17 at 7pm through August 17.
