Photo Flash: First Look - Purple Rose's THE VAST DIFFERENCE Extends thru Dec 21
The Purple Rose Theatre Company is pleased to announce a one-week performance extension of The Vast Difference by Jeff Daniels. Originally scheduled to close December 14, The Vast Difference will now run through Saturday, December 21, 2013. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
In this 20th anniversary production, George Noonan is having a mid-life crisis. The father of five girls and a flight attendant for a small Midwestern airline, he is scheduled to have a vasectomy. As he works up the courage to go through with the procedure, George becomes reflective on his struggles with his career, living up to his father's expectations, and the nature of "being a man" in the modern world. The Vast Difference contains mild adult language and themes.
Directed by Guy Sanville, the cast includes David Bendena (Chelsea, MI), Stephanie Buck (Chelsea, MI), Nathaniel Eyde (East Lansing, MI), Richard McWilliams (Dayton, OH), Rusty Mewha (Plymouth, MI), Michael Brian Ogden (Berkley, MI), Drew Parker (Ferndale, MI), Rhiannon Ragland (Gregory, MI), and Tom Whalen (Royal Oak, MI).
