Misty and Rover had its first look performance for a sold-out theatre at the Chain venue for Spark Festival. Check out photos from the show below!
Misty and Rover is a dark tragicomic one-act play about two ill-fated lovers, as their plan for eternal love unravels, one late night on a New York fire escape. The play's themes center around spiraling cycles of toxic love, addiction and infidelity.
The cast features Penelope Deen (ANTI-GONE, Meanwhile Elsewhere), Connor Chase Stewart (Soup In The Second Act, Lyle Kessler's Brothers), Lou Martini Jr. (Verity, Friends and Neighbors, The Sopranos), Multi-Emmy nominated and Broadway actress Ilene Kristen (Broadway: Grease, TV: Ryan's Hope, One Life to Live, The Black Donnelly's, Show Me a Hero, The Sopranos, and General Hospital.) and Matt Giroveanu (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Boardwalk Empire, The Deuce).
Karen Carpenter, the critically acclaimed director of Delia and Nora Ephron's Love, Loss, and What I Wore and Pickering's Lara's Journey directed this special date. The production is stage managed by Abigail Kastenberg.
In the audience was award-winning director Illana Stein (director of Pickering’s play The Endgame), Broadway’s Tony Award-Nominated Producer Eric Krebs, and Emmy Award-Nominated Director of ABC’s/Hulu One Life To Live, Gary Donatello.
The play will next be recorded as a radio play with the same cast, with full details to be announced soon. Learn more about the show here.
