In The Amateurs, an intrepid troupe of pageant players races across medieval Europe, struggling to outrun the Black Death. The arrival of a mysterious outsider sends Hollis, the leading lady, in search of answers that can only be found off-script... and soon the 14th century plague begins to look like another, more recent one. This wildly inventive and funny new work examines the evolution of human creativity in a dark age: when does a crisis destroy us, and when does it open new frontiers?

The award-winning design team includes scenic design by David Zinn (SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS); costume design by Jessica Pabst(MARVIN'S ROOM); lighting design by Jen Schriever (ECLIPSED); sound design by Bray Poor (LATIN HISTORY FOR MORONS); wig, hair, & makeup design by Dave Bova & J. Jared Janas (SUNSET BOULEVARD); and mask & puppet design Raphael Mishler (PATRON SAINT OF SEA MONSTERS).

THE AMATEURS is a recipient of an Edgerton Foundation New Play Award. The Amateurs was originally commissioned by South Coast Repertory and received a staged reading as part of The Goodman Theatre's New Stages Festival.
