The play, famous for its plot twists and meta humor, holds the record for being the longest running thriller-comedy on Broadway, and the talent Mr. Clarey has assembled for this production is impressive. The cast includes Ken Magos as playwright Sidney Bruhl, Lisa Black as his wife Myra Bruhl (and the show’s Costume Designer), Nick Wolf as Sidney’s former student Clifford Anderson, Ginny S. Crooks as the psychic neighbor Helga ten Dorp, and Robert MacLachlan as Sidney’s lawyer Porter Milgrim. Who dies? Who lives? Who fakes their death? You’ll have to head to the Baird Theatre On Three to see for yourself!
Behind the scenes are some interACT regulars: Sabrina Santoro and Mark J. Parker produce, Erik Gaden is the Fight Choreographer, Zach Pizza is the Lighting Designer, Christine Gaden is the Light Board Operator, and John M. Olsen is the head of Props. New to the company are Stage Manager Melissa Milne and Sound Designer Emma Matters.
