The Abreact Performance Space, in cooperation with Aardvark Tim Productions ~ the creative team that brought you ~ "DudeMan; "The Devil's Game"; Harold Pinter's "The Dumb Waiter"; David Mamet's "American Buffalo"; and "Edward Albee's : At Home at the Zoo" , is proud to announce their spring 2011 production of Samuel Beckett's classic tour de force : "Waiting for Godot".

The Abreact Performance Space's critically acclaimed "Season X" reaches it's culmination with Beckett's seminal masterpiece (which helped him earn the Nobel Prize in literature in 1969). This highly controversial existential play has been described as: "a strange, circular tragicomedy"; "a fine, abstract painting"; and (our favorite) "an idiotic, piece of crap"; and is widely acknowledged as "the most significant English language play of the 20th century".

The show will feature the talents of familiar Abreact faces - David Schoen (Calypso); Stephen Blackwell (La Ronde); Dave Davies (At Home at the Zoo); Lance Alan (The Best of Me); and Sarah Galloway (Savage Love). The show is directed by Aardvark Tim Production's Adam Barnowski & Andrea Smith (American Buffalo; At Home at the Zoo), and features a scenic and lighting design by Eric W. Maher (True West).

The Abreact Performance Space's production of Waiting for Godot will take place at 1301 W. Lafayette Ave. #113, Detroit 48226, from April 15, 2011 thru May 7, 2011. Friday & Saturday nights at 8pm, with one Sunday matinee on Sunday May 1st at 4pm, and one "Industry Night" performance on Thursday May 5th at 8pm.
