Opening July 19th, the production is Directed by company member Katy Chmurra.
The setting is a squalid farm home occupied by a family filled with suppressed violence and an unease born of deep-seated unhappiness. The characters are a ranting alcoholic grandfather; a sanctimonious grandmother who goes on drinking bouts with the local minister; and their sons, Tilden, an All-American footballer now a hulking semi-idiot; and Bradley, who has lost one leg to a chainsaw. Into their midst comes Vince, a grandson no one recognizes or remembers, and his girlfriend, Shelly, who cannot comprehend the madness to which she is suddenly introduced. The family harbors a dark secret, creating a cloud of guilt that no one can escape. The cast features Brett Sullivan Santry, Susana Garcia, Jeff Johnston, Michael McBurney, Cecilia Staggers, Eric Molina, and Edward Kunz.
