WAIT UNTIL DARK Runs Jan. 25-Feb. 18

CCPA_Wait Until DarkWAIT UNTIL DARK
Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
Jan. 25-Feb. 18
[West Price Hill]

Directed by Corrie Danieley

Cast: Anna Hazard as Susan Hendrix, Geoffrey Simmons as Harry Post, Douglas Fries as Mike Talman, Rhys Boatwright as Sergeant Carlino, Sophie Stockton as Gloria & Dan Robertson as Sam Hendrix

Forty-seven years after WAIT UNTIL DARK premiered on Broadway, Jeffrey Hatcher has adapted Frederick Knott’s 1966 original, giving it even more menace and suspense! In 1944 Greenwich Village, Susan Hendrix, a blind yet capable woman, is imperiled by a trio of men in her own apartment. As the climax builds, Susan discovers that her blindness just might be the key to her escape, but she and her tormentors must wait until dark to play out this classic thriller’s chilling conclusion. Considered one of the scariest moments ever.
