Religion and politics are typically dinner party no-nos, unless, of course, you’re in a Pulitzer Prize-winning drama. Ayad Akhtar’s Disgraced opens officially on October 23 at the Lyceum Theatre. The production is directed by Kimberly Senior.
To celebrate the show’s opening night, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this sketch of the fiery cast. The portrait features (from left to right) Danny Ashook as Abe, Gretchen Mol as Emily, Hari Dhillon as Amir, Josh Radnor as Isaac and Karen Pittman as Jory.
Broadway.com wishes a happy opening to the cast of Disgraced! The next dinner party’s at our place. Can you bring dessert and a mediator (just in case)?
About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
