Greco, Reiner, and Gwaltney Star In Pascal Productions' MODOTTI, Begins 6/8

Pascal Productions is pleased to announce that the role of Mexican painter, Diego Rivera, in the World Premiere production of MODOTTI, will now be played by Marco Greco (Behind The Counter With Mussolini and Den of Thieves).

MODOTTI by Wendy Beckett (Anais Nin: One of her Lives) will play a four-week limited engagement at Off-Broadway?s Acorn Theatre at Theatre Row (410 West 42nd Street). Performances begin Tuesday, June 8 at 7 p.m. and continue through Saturday, July 3 at 8 p.m. Opening Night is Friday, June 11 (8 p.m.).

Press Nights: Wed. June 9th, Thur., June 10th, & Fri. June 11th at 8 p.m.

(Other dates will be accommodated upon request.)

Greco joins the illustrious cast which includes, Jack Gwaltney (The Good Wife, Broadway: The House of the Blue Leaves) as Edward Weston, Stacey Linnartz (Ghosting, Bellwether, Lost In Light (The Public Theatre)) as Young Woman/Patron/Susan, Andy Paris (The Laramie Project film and original stage cast) as Robo/Mella, Dee Pelletier (Broadway: August Osage County) as Ella Wolfe, Alysia Reiner (Pentecost-Drama Desk Nom., Sideways-SAG award and Kissing Jessica Stein) as Tina Modotti, Josh Tyson as Musician, and Mark Zeisler (Broadway: A View From the Bridge, Brooklyn Boy) as Vidali.

Beckett returns with the World Premiere of Modotti, with Reiner in the title role as Tina Modotti, a sleek and sensuous photographer, silent film actress, activist and communist subversive. Modotti fled to Mexico lured by the revolution and artistic excitement, where she tore through the male dominated political forums almost as fast as she tore through her lovers. Taking on controversial issues is a young person's adventure, one that is bound to have dire consequences.

The production features scenic design by John McDermott, costume design by Theresa Squire, and lighting design by Lauren Phillips. Ray Thomas is the sound designer, Brett Heath is the projection designer and William Lang is the production stage manager.

Tuesdays at 7 p.m. | Wednesdays at 8 p.m. | Thursdays at 8 p.m. | Fridays at 8 p.m.
