Stone Soup to Present the Seattle Premiere of THE YOUNG MAN FROM ATLANTA

 Stone Soup announces the Seattle debut of the late Horton Foote's The Young Man from Atlanta, winner of the 1995 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, opening in February 2012 at the DownStage.

Revisiting characters first seen in Foote's nine-play magnum opus, The Orphans Homecycle, this elegant and heart-rending drama was written near the end of a career that includes over 52 stage plays, several screenplays and two Academy Award wins (Screenplays forTender Mercies & To Kill A Mockingbird).  

In this compassionate and occasionally humorous portrait of an affluent family's transformation as they face significant mid-life losses, Foote's characters reveal secrets and confront truths they had been unwilling to examine until crises force them to reevaluate the true meaning of "success".

Directed by Maureen Hawkins (Durang7), audiences are promised a subtle, yet unsettling theatrical journey as one American dream crumbles and the foundation for an uncertain future, a new American reality is begun.  

The production also features the talents of Eva Abram, Savannah Baltazar,  John Clark, Gordon Coffey, Jaryl Draper, Matthew Gilbert, Maggie Heffernan, Maria Knox, Maureen Miko, Lindsey Morck, Zachariah Robinson, Chris Scofield, Suzi Tucker, Michael Way and Carolynne Wilcox.

Tickets are available for purchase online here, (800-838-3006) or Stone Soup Box Office(206) 633-1883 - click here for more info.
