Photo Flash: Theatre Group at SBCC's IN THE NEXT ROOM or THE VIBRATOR PLAY Begins Tonight

The Theatre Group at SBCC's next production of the 70th Anniversary season will be IN THE NEXT ROOM or THE VIBRATOR PLAY, a comedy about marriage, intimacy and electricity by Sarah Ruhl, Directed by Rick Mokler, tonight, March 2, through March 19, 2016 in the Garvin Theatre. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast in costume below!

In a seemingly perfect, well-to-do Victorian home, proper gentleman and scientist Dr. Givings has innocently invented an extraordinary new device for treating "hysteria" in women (and occasionally men): the vibrator. Adjacent to the doctor's laboratory, his young and energetic wife tries to tend to their newborn daughter-and wonders exactly what is going on in the next room. When a new "hysterical" patient and her husband bring a wet nurse and their complicated relationship into the doctor's home, Dr. and Mrs. Givings must examine the nature of their own marriage, and what it truly means to love someone.

In the cast are: BLAKE BENLAN (Leo Irving), PAUL CANTER (Mr. Daldry), ADDISON CLARKE (Mrs. Daldry), JOSHUA DANIEL HERSHFIELD (Dr. Givings), ELLEN HUMPHREYS (Mrs. Givings), TIFFANY STORY (Annie), and DANAH WILLIAMS (Elizabeth).

On the production team are RICK MOKLER (Director), PAMELA SHAW (Costume Designer), PATRICIA L. FRANK (Scenic & Lighting Designer), and MANDY SABEDRA (Production Stage Manager).

Performances will be March 2-19. The Garvin Theatre is located on the West Campus of Santa Barbara City College in the 900 block of Cliff Dr. Parking is free and near the Theatre.
