Photo Flash: First Look at Maria Rizzo and Rachel Zampelli in THE GULF at Signature Theatre
Virginia's Tony-Award winning Signature Theatre presents the world premiere of The Gulf by DC playwright Audrey Cefaly. Directed by Signature's Director of New Works Joe Calarco (Signature Theatre's The Flick, Gypsy), The Gulf continues Signature Theatre's commitment to producing regional and local premieres of important new plays. The production stars Maria Rizzo (Signature's Gypsy, West Side Story) and Rachel Zampelli (Signature's The Fix, Dying City), and runs September 13 - November 6 in Signature Theatre's intimate ARK Theatre. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
Betty and Kendra waste away a languid summer day fishing on the Alabama Delta. Suddenly, their lazy afternoon turns to chaos when the motor breaks, stranding the two, and their tumultuous relationship, in the Gulf.
The Gulf won the 40th Annual Samuel French OOB Festival and a series of her plays were published by Samuel French in the collection Love is a Blue Tick Hound: And Other Remedies for the Common Ache. Her play Maytag Virgin was produced by Quotidian Theatre Company as part of the Women's Voices Theater Festival.
The creative team includes Scenic Design by Paige Hathaway; Costume Design by Frank Labovitz; Lighting Design by Andrew Cissna; Sound Design by Kenny Neal; Fight Choreographer Casey Kaleba; Production Stage Manager Julie Meyer; Production Assistant Sophia Lewin Adams.
