"One crime, four points of view; the truth itself is a kind of bias"
"THE RANT" GETS ITS NATIONAL NEW PLAY NETWORK WORLD PREMIERE AT NEW THEATRE
New Theatre presents its first World Premiere of the season with Andrew Case's thriller, "The Rant" making its World debut on October 2, 2008. An investigator assigned to the murder case of a 16 year old African American boy shot and killed by an NYPD police officer must wade through prejudice, deceit, and a volley of anonymous threats to find out where culpability and truth really lies.
Under the direction of New Theatre's Artistic Director, Ricky J. Martinez, returning Silver Palm Award winner for "The Mission," Ricky Waugh will grace the stage along with a cast which includes Patrice DeGraff-Arenas, Reiss Gaspard and Pilar Uribe who will be making their New Theatre debut. Returning to New Theatre will be Production Stage Manager Betsy Paull-Rick, Stage Manager Clint Hooper, Lighting Designer Travis Neff, Sound Designer Osvaldo Quintana, Costume Designer K. Blair Brown and Scenic Designer Jesus Casimiro. "The Rant" is part of the National New Play Network's rolling world premiere made possible by the National New Play Network's Continued Life Fund.
