Stray Dog Theatre Presents DARK MATTERS 5/5-21

Stray Dog Theatre presents Dark Matters by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. In an isolated house at the edge of a cornfield, in the mountains of Virginia, something almost beyond belief is happening to the Cleary family. When Bridget Cleary goes missing in the dead of night, her husband Michael and son Jeremy do everything within their power to help find her. Then, as suddenly as she vanished, Bridget reappears, talking about strange visitations and otherworldly beings. Is she lying, or are supernatural forces at work? A suspenseful thriller about the secrets that hold families together. Justin Been directs the show and the cast features Sarah Cannon, John Reidy, David Wassilak, and Tyler Whiteman.
