The devil's in the details! Full casting has been announced for Martha Clarke and Alfred Uhry’s previously reported Angel Reapers off-Broadway. Sophie Bortolussi, Nicholas Bruder, Asli Bulbul, Lindsey Dietz Marchant, Ingrid Kapteyn, Rico Lebron, Gabrielle Malone, Sally Murphy, Matthew Oaks, Andrew Robinson and yon tande will all appear in the production, which is set to begin previews on February 2.
Directed and choreographed by Clarke, the show will feature traditional Shaker songs and a mix of modern dance and actual Shaker movements. Angel Reapers follows the Shakers, an early American religious sect, which sought to connect with God through ecstatic ritual and strict celibacy. While the congregants strive desperately to maintain divine purity, the needs of the flesh threaten to take hold.
The production will feature scenic design by Marsha Ginsberg, costume design by Donna Zakowska, lighting design by Christopher Akerlind, sound design by Samuel Crawford and Arthur Solari, and music direction by Arthur Solari.
Angel Reapers is scheduled to play a limited engagement through March 13; opening night is set for February 22 in The Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre at The Pershing Square Signature Center.
