Tickets are now on sale to see Sherie Rene Scott in prison! The Tony nominee is headlining the world premiere of Whorl Inside a Loop off-Broadway. The play, written by Dick Scanlan and Scott, will begin previews at Second Stage’s Tony Kiser Theatre on August 4. Michael Mayer and Scanlan will direct.
In Whorl Inside a Loop, a well-regarded actress agrees to teach six inmates how to tell their stories behind the bars of a men’s maximum-security prison. Sharing intimate and sometimes hilarious details of their former lives (while portraying characters of varying age, gender and race), this unlikely group forms a bond—even as the actress’ life outside spins out of control. And when what happens in prison doesn't stay there, no one is sure whom to trust.
The cast will also include Derrick Baskin as Sunnyside, Nicholas Christopher as Rick, Chris Myers as Jeffrey, Ryan Quinn as Source, Daniel J. Watts as Flex and Donald Webber Jr. as Bey.
