Photo Flash: First Look at THE ANNOTATED HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN MUSKRAT at Ice Factory Festival

THE ANNOTATED HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN MUSKRAT, an experimental American epic, will receive its New York premiere in the 2016 Ice Factory Festival at New Ohio Theatre. Written by award-winning playwright John Kuntz, the premiere production by the Circuit Theatre Company in Boston was deemed "an opportunity to see a theater company pushing dramatic boundaries in exciting new ways" by The Boston Globe. Performances began last night, July 13. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Eight actors are part of an experiment. Or maybe they're eight ordinary people who think they're actors. Or maybe they were actors and acted so hard they became something else entirely. All they know is that they're in America, and they have to give a presentation about muskrats if they ever want to sleep. Unless they're sleeping right now. THE ANNOTATED HISTORY... is a wild collage of absurd comedy, melodrama, dancing, historical fiction, and live music videos, exploring how we build a national identity out of stories-and how those stories can become more powerful than the people who tell them. Skylar Fox directs the production.

The cast of THE ANNOTATED HISTORY includes Sam Bell-Gurwitz, Jared Bellot, Madeline Boles, Christopher Fitzsimmons, Simon Henriques, Molly Jones, Anna Nemetz, and Justin Phillips.

The production team includes Scenic Design by Adam Wyron, Costume Design by Corina Chase, Lighting Design by Christopher Annas-Lee, Props Design by Amalia Sweet, Production Stage Manager Lida Richardson, and Executive Produced by Jenny Gorelick. Produced in association with Foxy Henriques, The Circuit Theatre Company, and The Ice Factory Festival at New Ohio Theatre.
