Attic Ensemble Presents DETECTIVE STORY; Opens Tonight

THE STORY: August, 1949. A fascinatingly realistic picture of routine cases brought into a bustling metropolitan police station in the course of an evening. Out of the welter of human misery, vice and foolishness there emerges the moving case of a decent young man who has stolen money from his employer; a hardened criminal dragging his young friend down with him; a lawless NJ "gardener" with a corrupt lawyer; and others. In the throes of the tumult is Detective McLeod -- a man whose black & white vision of justice will be challenged by the woman he loves most: his wife. A cast of 22 men and women will bring this drama of truth and consequences to life on the stage tonight, November 8-17, 2013.

Detective Story's twenty-two cast members (listed alphabetically): Ryan Bender, Norberto Cancel, Ben Davis, Art Delo, Katherine Doyle, Paul Ellis, Erica Hazel Flory, Andrew Gelles, Phil Haas, Ben Holmes, Paul Kazalski, Ginger Kipps, Ron Leir, A.J.
