Tickets are now available for Martha Clarke and Alfred Uhry’s Angel Reapers off-Broadway. The production is set to begin previews on February 2 and will play a limited engagement through March 13. Opening night is scheduled for February 22 in The Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre at The Pershing Square Signature Center.
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 cast will include Sophie Bortolussi, Nicholas Bruder, Asli Bulbul, Lindsey Dietz Marchant, Ingrid Kapteyn, Rico Lebron, Gabrielle Malone, Sally Murphy, Matthew Oaks, Andrew Robinson and yon tande.
