Beggars in the House of Plenty by John Patrick Shanley May 25, 2008

Mary-Arrchie Theatre Co presents
the Chicago Premiere of John Patrick Shanley's
BEGGARS IN THE HOUSE OF PLENTY

Opening Night on May 25th at 8PM

In this deeply autobiographical work, Tony and Pulitzer Prize Winner John Patrick Shanley tackles his past. A surreal comedy, packed with the wit, insight, confusion, laughter and pain that only family can bring. At once vulgar, poetic and brutally honest, Johnny leads us on a journey through his childhood in the Bronx of the mid-1950's to the turbulent late 60's and finally the perspective of his adulthood.

Directed by Kevin Christopher Fox and features Carlo Lorenzo Garcia, Mary Jo Bolduc, Karl Potthoff, Shannon Clausen, Daniel Behrendt, and Laura Shatkus. (Laura Sturm is understudy for MA)

Designers include John Wilson (set), Stefin Steberl (costumes), Erin Leigh Lapham (lights), Joe Court (sound). Stage Management is by Mary Patchell.
