Live performances return to the black box stage at The GhostLight Theatre this month.
The first performance is Clyde’s – a play written by Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, directed by Aaron Reese Boseman (American Son). The mature-themed* story is about a formerly incarcerated kitchen staff on a shared quest of creating the perfect sandwich.
The cast includes Monique Marshaun (Pulse Theatre, Steppenwolf) as Clyde, James Gunter (The Minutes – GhostLight) as Montrellous, Isis Elizabeth (Paramount, Porchlight) as Letitia, Daniel Rivera (A Noise Within- Pasadena) as Rafael, and Darren Sims (South Bend Civic) as Jason. Set Design is by Andrew Sawyer, Lighting Design by Quinn Chisenhall, and Sound Design by Warren Levon. Set building and painting was done by Dan Cooper, John Taylor and Cindy Jakeway, with Costumes, Properties and Stage Management by Laura Gomez and Anastasia Field.
“We are delighted to bring Aaron (Boseman) back to The GhostLight to direct this play,” said Artistic Director Paul Mow, “We have been discussing this production now for a couple of years and Clyde’s is a terrific and engaging way to begin our sixth season.”
Clyde’s marks the start of The GhostLight Theatre’s sixth season, and opens Thursday, February 13, running through Sunday, February 23.
Following the final performance of Clyde’s, a special post-show discussion panel will be held at 5 pm on Sunday, February 23 with special guest Brian Beals, and moderated by James Gunter from Present Pillars. The panel discussion is FREE and open to the public.
