Cadence Theatre Company & Virginia Repertory Theatre's DETROIT Opens Tonight
Cadence Theatre Company in partnership with Virginia Repertory Theatre presents the Richmond premiere of Lisa D'Amour's Pulitzer Prize-nominated and Obie Award-winning play, Detroit. Detroit runs May 1-May 24, 2014 (opens May 3rd) with a Talk Back Sunday post-show discussion on Sunday, May 11th. Local psychiatrist Dr. Neil Sonenklar will facilitate.
Detroit is a dark comedy which takes the suburban American dream and exposes it as a ridiculous hoax. The New York Post says that D'Amour's piercing scrutiny "totally nails the great, deep malaise of middle-class suburbia, with a sustained energy and a wicked eye for telling details." First performed by Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago, Detroit has recently finished a successful run off-Broadway.
Detroit is directed by Anna Johnson, and features Larry Cook, Chris Lindsay-Abaire, Landon Nagel, Bill Patton and Laine Satterfield. Scenic Design is by Brian C. Barker, Lighting Design is by K. Jenna Ferree, Costume Design is by Lynn West, Sound Design is by John Dombroski, Music Design is by Andrew J. Hamm, Properties Design and Set Dressing are by McLean Jesse, Fight Choreography is by Kevin Inouye, Scenic Painting is by Terrie Powers, Set Construction is by Joel Ernst, Stage Management is by Chandler Jez, and Production Management is by McLean Jesse (Cadence Theatre Company) and Wendy Vandergrift (Virginia Rep).
Detroit will be presented May 1-May 24th, 2014 (opens May 3rd) at Theatre Gym at the Virginia Rep Center; 114 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia 23220.
