Photo Flash: First Look at SEASCAPE at TheatreWorks New Milford

Tonight, May 3, TheatreWorks New Milford will debut legendary playwright Edward Albee's Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy-drama, SEASCAPE. The curtain goes up at 8:00 p.m. for a four week-run. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

In SEASCAPE, on a deserted beach, a couple talks idly about home, family, and their life together as they near retirement. Then, suddenly, they are joined by two sea creatures who have risked leaving the ocean depths to come ashore. Initial fears and suspicions are soon replaced by curiosity. Before long, the humans and the creatures are engaged in a funny, fascinating dialogue. As the creatures face the terrifying prospect of life ashore, the humans are forced to contemplate their own emotional and mortal realities. Albee's play is filled with warmth, humor, poetic eloquence, along with emotional and intellectual reverberations that will linger in the heart and mind long after the play has ended.

The production features four of the region's finest actors: Noel Desiato (Sherman), J. Scott Williams (Brookfield), James Hipp (Danbury), and Desirae Carle (New Milford).

Besides Plemmons and Pettibone, the play's production team consists of co-producer Glenn R. Couture, costumer Lesley Neilson-Bowman, creature constructor Mary Hildebrand Nagler, lighting design by Scott Wyshynski and Pettibone, set design by Pettibone and Couture, and stage management by Kristi Petersen Schoonover.

SEASCAPE made its Broadway Debut at the Shubert Theatre on January 26, 1975 and went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. New York Newsday said of the play, "Not only does this brilliantly original play stimulate you, it also entertains you."
