Description
First Folio Theatre (Mayslake Peabody Estate, 31st St. & Rt. 83) announces today its post-show talk back schedule for the world premiere of the new drama SALVAGE.
Event Details
The panel discussion series will kick off on Sunday, March 30 following the 3 p.m. performance with playwright, Joseph Zettelmaier, who will discuss his inspirations for the play. The discussion series will continue every Wednesday following the 8 p.m. performance (April 2, 9, 16, and 23) with Director Alison C. Vesely, Melanie Keller and Tyler Rich. SALVAGE opens March 29 and runs through April 27, 2014.
SALVAGE tells the tender story of a shy owner of a collectables store in Detroit who finds his staid existence turned topsy-turvy when a mysterious women enters his life with valuable items she is trying to sell. But as their business relationship grows, so does their personal relationship...and so does the mystery of where she keeps finding these items. Zettelmaier is a four-time nominee for the Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association Award for Best New Play. His play It Came from Mars was the recipient of 2009's Edgerton Foundation New American Play Award, and won Best New Script 2010 from the Lansing State Journal. "Zettelmaier's plays are infused with an idiosyncratic sense of humor, but he never shies away from darker emotions," said American Theatre Magazine.
SALVAGE stars First Folio Theatre Artistic Associate Melanie Keller as "Sarah" (Twelfth Night and Jeeves in Bloom at First Folio Theatre and Romeo and Juliet and Caesar and Cleopatra at The Stratford Shakespeare Festival of Canada) and Tyler Rich as "Jason" (Cymbeline at First Folio Theatre, Cyrano de Bergerac at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, and The Tempest and The Taming of the Shrew at American Players Theatre).
Costume Design is by Elsa Hiltner, Sound Design is by Chris Kriz, Lighting Design is by Shelley Holland, Scenic Design is by Angie Weber Miller, and Props Design is by Cassandra Schillo.
This summer, the brilliant Shakespearean comedy THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR will appear on First Folio Theatre's outdoor main stage, situated on the scenic slopes of the historic Mayslake Peabody Estate. Guests are encouraged to bring a pic
