Southern Rapture
By Eric Coble

REGIONAL PREMIERE

Read the Houston Chronicle feature on Southern Rapture

Marjorie is a respected theatrical artistic director in a growing Southern city that has almost achieved "world class" status, that might host the upcoming Olympics...and that values tradition above all else. When Marjorie decides to produce an acclaimed but controversial new play, she sparks an increasingly outrageous culture war that divides the community and finally draws national attention--just not the good kind! Based on the true story of Charlotte Repertory Theatre's now infamous production of Angels in America, Eric Coble's latest work is a wickedly funny look at the intersection between artists and audiences, and the delicate contract theatres have with their communities.

Directed by Kenn McLaughlin

Featuring Sally Edmundson (Amy's View, Elizabeth Rex, Full Gallop), Rutherford Cravens (Panto Cinderella, The Unseen, Amy's View), David Wald (Silence), Jon Egging, Pamela Vogel and Jovan Jackson
