Savage in Limbo opens Tonight!

Tonight is the opening of John Patrick Shanley’s Savage in Limbo.  An arresting and brilliantly inventive play which moves from comedy to near tragedy as it explores the hopes and dreams of a group of rootless young “losers” who congregate in an anonymous Bronx bar, hoping to find respite from the drabness of their lives. Produced Off-Broadway by New York’s Double Image Repertory Company. “John Patrick Shanley has written an often searing, existential and dramatically compelling work dealing with our search for roots and purpose in an often purposeless world.” —BackStage. “Although filled with comic lines, Savage in Limbo has the serious intent of laying bare the unstated dreams and thwarted possibilities of its artfully drawn denizens.” —Drama-Logue. “Conceived with sharp insight into the lives of losers, conveyed with a friskly and often hilarious wit…” —NY Daily News.

The cast includes Jonathan Hoopingarner (Roseville, MI) as Murk, Kelsey Lusch (Clinton Twp., MI) as April White, Yesmeen Mikhail (Wyandotte, MI) as Linda Rotunda, Justin Wagner (New Baltimore, MI) as Tony Aronica, and Lisa Youngs (Wyandotte, MI) as Denise Savage.

The production team includes Jennifer Goff as director, Cheryl Churchill as costume designer, Alan Devlin as scenic designer, Michael Thomas as lighting designer, Greg Miller as assistant lighting designer, Rebecca Garcia as sound designer, Leanne Turrell as properties master, Nick Boyd as production stage manager, and Richard L.
