Photo Coverage: DUST Opening Night

Dust, a new thriller starring Emmy Award nominee Richard Masur (Democracy, "All My Children") and Tony Award nominee Hunter Foster (Urinetown, Little Shop of Horrors), began performances at The Westside Theatre (downstairs) on November 18th.  Written by Billy Goda and directed by Scott Zigler, Dust also features Laura E. Campbell, Curtis McClarin and John Schiappa.  The production celebrated opening night on Thursday, December 4th. BroadwayWorld.com's camera's caught all the fun from the curtain call to the after party of the new Off-Broadway drama.

Dust is a power play.  One man is an executive with money and a paunch.  The other is an ex-con with street smarts and a minimum-wage position.  One man says "jump."  The other won't say "how high," but defiantly asks "why?".  What starts off as a battle of wills over who will do the dusting escalates into a war for respect, the upper hand and survival. Who will be standing when the dust settles?

Presented by Roger Alan Gindi and Cassidy Productions, Dust features a scenic design by Caleb Wertenbaker, costume design byTheresa Squire, and lighting design by Charles Foster.
