Taproot Theatre Adds Performances To The Beams are Creaking

With its added performance on April 19 virtually sold out along with the rest of the run, Taproot Theatre is extending The Beams are Creaking. Originally slated to close on April 23, the show-by Douglas Anderson and directed by Karen Lund-now runs through April 30, with additional performances on April 28 at 7:30 p.m. and April 29 and 30 at 8 p.m. Tickets are now available through Taproot Theatre's box office at 206-781-9707 and online at www.taproottheatre.org.

Set in Germany in 1933, the Nazi party has taken power. In the face of the greatest evil of the 20th century, Dietrich Bonhoeffer battles questions of morality, political allegiance and religious conviction, and must make choices that could change the course of history. This true story will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

David Roby will replace Simon Pringle for the performances April 28 through 30. The rest of the cast remains the same: Matt Shimkus as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, along with Don Brady, Gerald Browning, Robert Gallaher, Nathan Jeffrey, Rob Martin, Kim Morris and Sarah Ware. The production team includes scenic and sound designer Mark Lund, costume designer Nanette Acosta and lighting designer Andrew Duff. Rachael Dorman serves as stage manager, Marianna de Fazio as dialect coach, Sam Vance as music director, and Melissa Johnson as dramaturg intern with Sonja Lowe as supervising dramaturg.
