New York, NY (5/26/10) – Rattlestick Playwrights Theater has announced the cast and creative team for the world premiere of Little Doc, written by award-winning filmmaker Dan Klores and directed by John Gould Rubin. Opening the company’s 16th Season, performances of Little Doc will begin Friday, June 11 at Rattlestick Theatre (224 Waverly Place). The official opening night is set for Thursday, June 17. The production is scheduled to run through July 18.
The cast of seven features Adam Driver, Salvatore Inzerillo, Steven Marcus, Tobias Segal, Billy Tangradi, Dave Tawil, and Joanne Tucker.
The creative team features David Rockwell (scenic design), Clint Ramos (costume design), Nicole Pearce (lighting design), Jill BC Du Boff (sound design), and Eugenia Furneaux-Arends (properties). Meredith Dixon is Production Stage Manager and Melissa Mae Gregus is Assistant Stage Manager.
Dan Klores, whose searing and deeply felt documentaries have become modern classics, once again weaves a New York tale in this very personal new work, infused with equal parts humor and heartbreak. Set in 1970’s Brooklyn, in the living room of a one-bedroom apartment under the “el” and above a tiny neighborhood bar, Little Doc centers on four childhood friends who find themselves in a life-threatening situation that challenges the validity of the virtues they've adopted from a sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll culture.
The performance schedule is as follows: Wednesday – Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 3pm and Monday at 8pm. Tickets are $45 and are available by calling SmartTix at (212) 868-4444 or online at www.smarttix.com.
