Photo Flash: First Look at The Amoralists' UTILITY Premiere at Rattlestick
By: BWW News Desk
The Amoralists present the world premiere of UTILITY, written by Emily Schwend and directed by Jay Stull. UTILITY runs now through February 20, 2016 in a limited engagement at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, located at 224 Waverly Place between Perry & West 11th Streets in New York City. The production opens tonight, February 1, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
Amber has two jobs, three kids and an eight-year-old's birthday party to plan. The house needs fixing up and her on-again, off-again husband Chris just can't help but make things worse. As Amber struggles to keep things from boiling over, she finds herself a stranger to the person she once was and the person she thought she might be. The cast includes Alex Grubbs (SeaWife with Naked Angels, Mary-Kate Olsen Is in Love & These Seven Sicknesses at The Flea), Melissa Hurst (One Neck with Atlantic Theatre Co., Dark Ride at Soho Rep, Obie Award-winning play The Houseguests), James Kautz (The Other Thing at Second Stage, The Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side & The Bad and the Better with The Amoralists), and Vanessa Vache (Rantoul and Die, The Bad and the Better & HotelMotel with The Amoralists). The design team includes Kate Noll (Set Design), Jeanne Travis (Sound Design), Nick Houfek (Lighting Design), Angela Harner (Costume Design) and Zach Serafin (Prop Design). The production team includes Nikki Castle (Production Stage Manager), Anderson Heinz (Associate Producer) and Jeremy Pape (Production Manager). Performances are Thursdays - Saturdays 8pm with additional shows on Sun, Jan 31 at 8pm, Sun, Feb 14 at 3pm, and Wed, Feb 17 at 8pm. Opening night is Mon, Feb 1 at 8pm. Tickets are $18 and can be purchased online at www.TheAmoralists.com or by calling 1-866-811-4111. The running time is 95 minutes.Photo Credit: Russ Rowland
