Photo Flash: First Look at Sierra Stages' THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN

Sierra Stages opens its 2016 season this week at the Nevada Theatre in Nevada City with the enchanting, dark comedy THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN by Martin McDonagh. THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN, which plays from March 3 through March 19, is directed by Sharon Winegar. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

In this dark comedy, set in 1934 and spun in the great tradition of Irish storytelling, the impoverished island community of Inishmaan is dazzled by the "glitz and glamour" of Hollywood when a movie director visits the neighboring island to cast his upcoming film. "Cripple Billy," who would like nothing more than to leave the cliffs of Ireland and his tedious life behind for the hills of Hollywood, hitches a ride and auditions - not knowing how this journey would affect his life and the lives of everyone around him.

THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN features set design by Pamela Hodges, lighting design by Erin Beatie, and costume design by Paulette Sand-Gilbert. The cast includes local actors Alice Beloved, Chase Coney, Kim Ewing, Lois Ewing, John Gardiner, Ben Hedenland, Damiian Mario Lang, Ari Rampy, and Robert Rossman.

THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN plays for three weekends only from March 3 through March 19 at the Nevada Theatre. Performances are Thursdays at 7 PM. Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM and Sundays (March 6 & 13) at 2 PM. The first two performances (March 3 & 4) are lower-priced "previews," with $15 General Admission tickets. For all other performances, General Admission tickets are $25. Reserved Seating also is available for $35 (in advance), and is a great way to provide additional financial support for Sierra Stages.
