Ruskin Theatre Group Presents CYRANO DE BERGERAC, 12/20-1/7

By:

Ruskin Group Theatre proudly presents an adventure based on the legend of 17th Century French dramatist and duelist Savinien de Bergerac, now known the world over as Cyrano.  Afflicted with an enormous and bulbous nose, he is convinced that no woman can ever love him, and thus makes himself notorious in Paris for his courage, gallantry, and charm of verse.  Putting aside his own love for the beautiful Roxanne, he offers his powers of expression to his rival, as this hysterical and stirring adventure unfolds.
 
Rae Allen (Director) is a Tony Award winner and a two time Tony Award nominee.  She has appeared in numerous Broadway productions including the original DAMN YANKEES, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, and THE PAJAMA GAME.  Allen has appeared in feature films such as REIGN OVER ME, BORDERLINE, THE HARD EASY, and on television including several episodes of THE SOPRANOS, and SEINFELD.
 
Michael Myers (Producer) has produced more than 50 projects since 2002.  He recently directed FAITHFUL at RGT.  Mike is a co-creator of the Ruskin's critically acclaimed CAFÉ PLAYS, a monthly offering of one-acts that are done in 10 ½ hours from conception to staging.
 
RUSKIN GROUP THEATRE has been making an impact on the Los Angeles theatrical scene with an eclectic mix of thought provoking plays and programs.  Their 'Fostering Imagination' program sponsors foster kids in theatre & film classes that produce several original shows each year.  The CAFÉ PLAYS, created by RGT are produced monthly and are the culmination of writers, actors, and directors who meet at 9am, where they are given a theme.  They then write, produce, and perform a show by 7pm the same day.  Recently celebrating their 6th anniversary, RGT supporters Ed Asner, Dylan McDermott, Chris Mulkey, Olivia d'Abo, and other industry celebrities joined to produce the Best of Café Plays (both shows sold out within hours).  Anthony Hopkins and Anthony Franciosa were some of the Ruskin School of Theatre's first teachers.
