Dark Comedy DEVOTED DREAMS Heads to Theatre Row Tonight
Rosendorf One Productions has announced that it will present DEVOTED DREAMS, a new dark comedy about a young man who takes on the business world, battling an insurmountable work load, brutal bosses and overbearing parents at The Beckett Theatre, Theatre Row, 410 West 42nd St. Written by Christopher B. Latro and directed by Anna Bamberger, the production will begin previews tonight, May 27 at 2PM and will have its official opening on Friday, May 29 at 8PM. The run will continue through June 27.
DEVOTED DREAMS centers around a young man fighting to find love and success in a loveless world driven by money and power. Surrounded by overbearing parents, a cold marriage and brutal bosses he can only find escape in endless work and the arms of a beautiful young woman. Can a child save him? Who is this child? Where is he from? Is there really a higher power set to bring happiness to these people?
Playwright Christopher B. Latro is an NYU graduate having majored in History and Journalism. He has been working for various national and international trade platforms ever since. He conducted as well as staged readings for the Southwark Playhouse as well as the Hampstead Theatre in London as well as staged short play readings for the Harold Clurman Laboratory Theater Company in New York. Absolution at St Luke's Theatre, NY was his first full-length production.
Director Anna Bamberger, who originally comes from a fine art background, trained at Stella Adler Studio in New York City to deepen her knowledge of live theater directly from an actor's point of view. Her acting took her to acclaimed London performances of Rosendorf One's and SOT Stages's productions of Blood Wedding and The Shape of Things. Her directorial work has encompassed a collaboration with distinguished Theatre Collection and Victor Sobchak in London where they worked together on such classic pieces as The Idiot, Tender is the Night, and An Inspector Calls. In a pursuit of new work, Absolution was her directorial debut of a newly written project.
DEVOTED DREAMS features Brandon Alan Smith, Sarah Swift, Shelley Valfer, Barbara Thomas, Michelle Girolami and Ray Field.
Production design includes Production Stage Manager Jack Vandewark, scenic design by Lauren Mills, light design by Jamie Roderick, sound design & original music by Sam Godin, costume design Michael Alan Stein, and casting by Holly Buczek, CSA - Joy Dewing Casting.
