Hey, everyone! I am so excited to announce casting for Weekend at an English Country Estate. We have a killer group assembled, if i do say so myself.
The play is set to be directed by Paul Urcioli, and will feature Ateh company members Madeleine Maby, Sara Montgomery, and Elizabeth Neptune, plus Ateh newcomers Mick Lauer*, Alyssa Lott, Julia Moss*, Joe Stipek* and Charlie Wilson.
You may remember Madeleine, Elizabeth and myself (Sara) from past Ateh shows including The Girl in the Flammable Skirt, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Girl Detective, Long Distance and Mr. A's Amazing Maze Plays. Here is a fitting performance image from Alice that I feel will simultaneously remind you of our past shows, fully convey how excited we are about working with all these new people, as well as potentially embarrass the people in the picture. It's win-win-win.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland featuring Elizabeth Neptune as the Mock Turtle, Kathryn Ekblad as Alice, Madeleine Maby as the Griffin, and I'm there in the background as one of the the Lobster Quadrille "Lobster-ettes." Lewis Carroll is a maniac; Bridgette Dunlap is a genius.If the world needs anything right now, it's more lobster hats.
P.S. If anyone doesn't know the story, it was at this moment in the play, after doing it for months, that i looked around the stage and for the first time realized "This is RIDICULOUS! What we are doing is ridiculous!" I don't know how i could have missed it earlier.
