How far would a man go to protect his family, his interests, and his legacy? Joe Keller, the patriarch in ALL MY SONS, desperately wants to secure and maintain the financial security and legacy he spent so many years building, ready to hand it down to his surviving son Chris. At the same time, Joe’s wife Kate is still waiting for their eldest son Larry to return from war, determined that he is alive and will marry the former girl-next-door, Ann –the daughter of Joe’s former business partner who is sitting in prison, punished for Joe’s crimes. To complicate this family drama, Chris and Ann are in love and want to get married.

ANTIGONE Runs Oct. 1-4

ST_Antigone logoANTIGONE
Sinclair Theatre
Oct. 1-4
[Online]

Co-directed by Kimberly Borst and Gina Neuerer

Cast: Kylee Pauley as Antigone, Rebecca Shelley as Ismene, Kasaahn Johnson as Kreon, Rafael Santillan as Haimon, Cormari Pullings as Eurydike, Mackenzie Moore as Teiresias, Connor Gray as Boy/Messenger & DJ Swann as Guard
Chorus:  Lilly Robillard, Riley Karr, Callista Kinney, Jasmine Eason & Meredith Sandstrom

When her dead brother is decreed a traitor, his body left unburied beyond the city walls, Antigone refuses to accept this most severe of punishments. Defying her uncle who governs, she dares to say ‘No’. Forging ahead with a funeral alone, she places personal allegiance before politics, a tenacious act that will trigger a cycle of destruction.

  • Available for viewing Oct. 1-4

PRECIPICE: What Took Us Over the Edge Runs Sept. 18-20

FLI_Precipice logoPRECIPICE: What Took Us Over the Edge
Footlighters Inc.
Sept. 18-20
[Online]

A New Song Cycle
Music by Matthew Nassida
Lyrics by Lexi Rigsby

Directed by Amanda Marasch
Produced by Katie McCarthy & Chad Brinkman

Cast: Michael Bojtos, Chris Brasfield, Amanda Marasch-Brinkman, Kelsey Chandler, Amanda Emmons-Shumate, Joyanna Feller, Caitlin Fry, Emma Horn, George Ivan, Je’Shaun Jackson, Kristen Jeter, Field Oldham, Mayi Reyes, Jamard Richardson, Molly Sexton, Alex Slade & Cian Steele

A musical theater song cycle, explores the significant human moments of revelation and change. As we stand on the edge of a proverbial cliff – uncertain whether to retreat or take a step forward into the abyss – we are welcomed by the memories, good and bad, that brought us to the brink. This powerful new work examines the exhilaration and the fear that comes as we stumble upon our tipping points and allow each of us to see ourselves from the ether standing beyond the precipice.

With an all-star cast of performers from across the United States, we bring you an exploration into human lives. The Footlighters, Inc. is proud to premiere PRECIPICE: What Took Us Over The Edge, a year in the making, by the emerging musical theater writing team of Rigsby and Nassida.

After the final live broadcast performance, a video recording of the program will be available on our YouTube channel for your enjoyment at a later date. 

  • Fri-Sat, Sept. 18-19 at 7:30pm
