New play by Jess Eichen will run in Brooklyn this weekend.
Great Knave Theatre Co. will present Chastity, a new play about sex.
Written by Jess Eichen and directed by Blake Chrusciel, Chastity will be performed at the Vino Theater, which is run by Sour Grapes Productions. The show runs January 30 through February 1.
Chastity is a brash, spunky tour through the ugly parts of being a kid that no one talks about and we all end up repressing as we get older. Two kids hurl down a path of self-destruction as a rebellious nun tries to pull them into the light, and every single thing goes wrong.
Directed by Blake Chrusciel, the cast includes playwright Jess Eichen as JOHN, Mikaila Son as CHASTITY, and Tara Brown as SISTER MAGGIE.
Produced by Molly Kriskey and Jess Eichen, the creative team behind the production includes Jamie Marano (Stage Manager), Sabrina Carlier (Intimacy Director), Grace DeLossa (Casting Consultant and Scenic Designer), Blake Chrusciel (Fight Director), Brishti Sarkar (Sound Designer), Micah Carlsen (Lighting Designer), Cheyenne Oxendine (Video Design), and Colleen Brostek (Photographer).
From January 30th through February 1, Chastity will be performed at the Vino Theater, which is run by Sour Grapes Productions at 274 Morgan Ave Suite 201, Brooklyn, NY, 11211 US
