Brittany K. Allen, Denny Dale Bess and More to Star in Ensemble Studio Theatre & Radio Drama Network's REDWOOD
Ensemble Studio Theatre (EST) (William Carden, Artistic Director) and Radio Drama Network (Melina Brown, President) announced casting today for the New York Premiere of Redwood, written by EST/Youngblood member Brittany K. Allen (Happy Happy Joy Joy) and directed by Mikhaela Mahony (Dido of Idaho). Redwood begins previews at EST's Curt Dempster Theatre (549 W. 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019) on April 15, 2020 and is set to open April 23 for a limited run through May 10, 2020.
The cast of Redwood will include Brittany K. Allen (Gloria), Denny Dale Bess (Travisville), Bryn Carter (Scraps), Tyrone Henderson (Much Ado About Nothing), Drew Lewis (Jesus in Manhattan), Portia (Stew), Kate Rigg (Collective Rage) and Eric R. Williams (Playing Hot).

Page (Violet). Caitlyn Murphy (GEORGIA MERTCHING IS DEAD) will serve as Props Master.
When Meg's Uncle Stevie goes down the rabbit hole of online genealogy, he makes a discovery about the family who owned theirs - casting an unwelcome light on Meg's relationship with her white boyfriend. Brittany K. Allen's incisive new comedy Redwood wrestles with our collective American legacy as Meg and her family carve out a life in a country filled with ghosts.
