Synopses:
Angel Eaters
Directed by JESSI D. HILL

Joann, a slow girl growing up poor in 1930’s Oklahoma, claims to talk to angels and raise animals from the dead.  But when her father dies and her sister gets pregnant, the angel’s message takes a darker turn.  As her mother hires a pair of carnies to rise her dead husband, Joann struggles to understand if her growing power is good or evil and whether she should fight God to bring her father back.  This fiercely comic and cosmic drama of good versus evil plays out through one family struggling to survive the death and loss of the Dust Bowl.

Featuring: Tiffany Clementi, Ken Glickfeld*, Catherine Porter*, Marnie Schulenburg, Isaiah Tanenbaum, Gregory Waller*, Cotton Wright*

Rattlers
Directed by JERRY RUIZ

The second play, set in the 1980’s, follows the children of the survivors of ANGEL EATERS. Unwilling to accept her sister Kate’s death, Ernelle kidnaps Osley, her ex-lover and uses dark methods of persuasion to convince him to raise Kate from the dead.  Meanwhile, Kate and Ernelle’s mother, believing her daughter was murdered, seeks revenge, while the two men who may have killed her share memories of the woman they loved.  This hauntingly intimate play examines how love can drive good people to acts of unspeakable violence.

Featuring: Matthew Crosby, Scott Drummond*, David Jackson,  Jason Paradine, Amy Lynn Stewart*, Jane Taylor*, Richard B. Watson*

8 Little Antichrists
Directed by KELLY O’DONNELL

Set 20 years in the future, the final play of the trilogy imagines a dystopia where Disney Corporation runs jails and SONY clones workers.  Skipping ahead two generations, 8 Little Antichrists follows Osley’s (from RATTLERS) grandchildren - Jeremy and Melanie - in their quest to stop the apocalypse and save the world from the antichrists.  This story is the thrilling conclusion to a three play battle between good and evil, love and loss.

Featuring: Jake Alexander, Candice Holdorf*, Felicia Hudson*, Nora Hummel*, Elise Link, Joe Mathers, Rebecca McHugh, Zack Robidas, August Schulenburg
