"Girl Gone" presented by The NonProphet Theater Company October 26, 2006

The NonProphet Theater Company brings our successful 2006 season to a close with the psychological thriller, Girl Gone, opening Thursday, October 19 and running through Saturday, October 28.

Directed by Christopher Limber, the play is set against the backdrop of exotic dancing. When Tish, a novice dancer, loses her friend and mentor Jean to a brutal murder, she sets out to find who killed her and why. Her search takes her along the seedy underbelly of the city, and the action drifts in and out of Tish’s mind as she flashes back to past incidents in an attempt to unmask the killer. With a rapid pace, the scenes shift from the strip club, to a smoky jazz lounge, to a male hustler’s pad, to Jean’s apartment. She eventually finds the answer she’s looking for, but is she ready to handle the truth?

This production, in addition to being the final entry in the NonProphet’s inaugural season, is part of the St. Louis Political Theatre Festival. With tones of feminism, free speech, race, and sexual freedom, Reingold has crafted a dark yet moving story that flows seamlessly from one scene to the next, and subtly speaks to political and social issues of the day, while maintaining a bite-your-nails sense of suspense.

This show is for mature audiences only.

The show stars Kimberly C. Mason as Tish, Margeau Baue Steinau as Jean and Robert A. Mitchell as Bobby. The show also features B. Weller, Leah Schumacher, Paula Dean, Kiné Brown, and Jared Nell.

The NonProphet Theater Company promises that this will be the most ambitious production to date, with a dazzling array of lights designed by Jim Dolan, sound design by Dave Toretta, and set design by Dan Steinau. Cast member Leah Schumacher, of the Albino Alley Cat Burlesque Revue on Washington Avenue, is also acting as choreographer for the dance numbers.
