Photo Preview: TRP Presents INDIAN BLOOD

Young Eddie -- growing up in a genteel home in Buffalo, New York in the 1940's -- is suspended from school for drawing a dirty picture. This will not go well with his family, especially just before Christmas. And it doesn't help when he pleads his case using a distant Indian ancestor. Narrated by Eddie and seen through the filter of his irreverent eyes, the prodcution retains many aspects of the original staging, including a spare set concept reminiscent of Our Town. A witty, warm comedy by the author of The Dining Room, Sylvia and Love Letters. ...a sweet and civilized memoir of a sixteen-year-old boy rebelling against the stuffy values of his upper-middle-class family... DAILY VARIETY.

Lynn Musgrave directs a cast of eight featuring Ben Stasny as Eddie. Sets are designed by Chad van Kekerix, costumes by Dwight Larsen, and lighting by Andy Kedl.

A discussion with director Musgrave and members of the company will follow the matinee performance on Sunday, December 6th.

Tickets are $20, with discounts for seniors and a student price of $10 on Fridays and Sundays. For information, call the theatre's box office at 612-333-3010 or visit its website at www.TheatreintheRound.org.
