Cast Announced for IN THE NIGHT TIME (BEFORE THE SUN RISES) at Know Theatre

ktc_logoGet to Know the faces about to bring to life the US premiere of IN THE NIGHT TIME (BEFORE THE SUN RISES) this January:

You may recognize the faces of these two amazing actors from a little-known show called PUFFS!

Guest Director Brant Russell was immediately drawn to their versatility and the natural chemistry they have built on and off stage during the run of PUFFS – which will come in handy as they dig deep into this stunning new dramatic work about a young couple confronting the brokenness of our modern world over the course of one long, sleepless night with their newborn baby.

KTC_Elizabeth MolloyElizabeth Chin Molloy returns to the Know as Woman. Elizabeth previously appeared on the Know MainStage in Mercury and SuperTrue; and you may also have caught her work in Serials!, Cincy Fringe, and various play readings in the Know Underground. This time she takes on the challenging role of a mother in the hazy hours of the night time, grappling with some of our time’s most pressing moral conundrums. Is it ethical or right to bring a child into our modern world?

KTC_Brandon BurtonJoining Elizabeth once again is Brandon Burton as Man: Currently onstage as math magician Oliver Rivers in Puffs, you might remember him as the hilarious Castle Guard in Marian, or The True Tale of Robin Hood and Islington & Lord Rat Speaker in Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere. This time, he tackles the gritty and emotional role of a new father  grown delirious as he and his wife desperately attempt to get their newborn to sleep.

The US Premiere of IN THE NIGHT TIME (BEFORE THE SUN RISES) runs January 17th- February 8th, and is a tale for anyone who has ever wondered if they’re on the right path – and if there is light at the end of a long, dark night.Reserve your tickets for this explosive new drama here.

Cast Announced for MR. RICKEY CALLS A MEETING at Dayton Theatre Guild

DTGDTG is  pleased to announce the cast of MR. RICKEY CALLS A MEETING
by Ed Schmidt.

In order of appearance:

  • Saul Caplan as Branch Rickey
  • Shaun Diggs as Jackie Robinson
  • Robert Culpepper as Clancy Hope
  • Edward Hill as Paul Robeson
  • Robert-Wayne Waldron as Joe Louis
  • Franklin Johnson as Bill Robinson

In a NYC hotel room, in the spring of 1947, Branch Rickey, owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers, meets with four prominent African-Americans to discuss breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball. He wants support from their community to help with the controversy he knows will ensue. Jackie Robinson, Joe Louis, Paul Robeson, and Bill Robinson, aka Mr. Bojangles, attend the meeting, but it isn’t an easy fix. Concern about loss of jobs, as well as suspicion about Branch Rickey’s motives come into play. The 2012 revival was nominated for three Jeff Awards for Play Production, Direction, and Ensemble.

Directed by Rick Flynn
Produced by Deirdre Root
The show runs weekends Jan 24-Feb 9, 2020
