The New Theatre Project Presents WOLF CRY WOLF, Now thru 12/16
By: BWW News Desk
The New Theatre Project will offer its second world premiere by playwright Kevin Kautzman at the Mix. After the huge audience success of If You Start a Fire [Be Prepared to Burn], TNTP is eager to showcase more work by Kautzman. "His plays are magical," says Artistic Director Keith Paul Medelis, "There is a delicious theatricality and poetry to all of them that makes them a treat for any company. We are very happy to serve these plays with their first outing."
"People make believe with each other. It's how we get through the night." When Steph returns home ?to North Dakota for the first time in years and surprises her estranged childhood friend Jane, they descend into their memories and relive the summer Jane told Steph her deepest secret: she knows how turn into a wolf. Wolf Cry Wolf looks at the fine line between memory and imagination and at the lies we tell to survive our shadows. A beautiful new play from the playwright of last season's comedy If You Start a Fire [Be Prepared to Burn].
The cast features Meredith Deighton, Ramona Lucius, and Kris Reilly. Wolf Cry Wolf will feature the designs and direction of Artistic Director Keith Paul Medelis and the puppetry design of Bri Howard.
