Sam Shepard's "The God of Hell"

Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 8pm

at Stone Soup Theatre Downstage
This event has passed.

Sam Shepard takes us on a farcical, brilliantly provocative ride that both entertains and provokes questions about forced patriotic conformity and the fragility of democracy: Frank and Emma are Wisconsin dairy farmers who live a quiet respectable life until they agree to put up Frank’s old friend, a scientist on the run from a secret government project involving plutonium. What ensues is a thrilling theatrical ride as hilarious as it is sobering.

Director, Joanna Goff Sunde, leads a brilliant cast, including Maureen Miko (Stone Soup's Artistic Director), Gianni Truzzi, Keith Dahlgren, and Edwin Scheibner.

The performance runs Thursday - Saturday evenings at 8pm and from February 20 - March 14, with two Sunday matinees, 3/1 and 3/8 at 4pm, $12.50 previews on February 18 and 19. General admission prices are $15-$25, $20 for seniors. All Thursdays after preview are Pay-What-You-Will. Photo by Armen Stein.
