Cast Announced for ONE WAY TO PLUTO! at 13th Street Playhouse

Seanie Sugrue, called by Patrick Hickey of ReviewFix as "one of the most intriguing and witty playwrights in New York City today" has gathered an impressive team of arts journeymen for ONE WAY TO PLUTO!, the next in his riveting Punk Theater journey.

Each is a familiar face on stage and screen - large and small. Each understanding the energy needed to present a new work in a new art form.

Courtney Torres is a hard-boiled Brooklynite and familiar name in the independent theatre scene with credits at the Barrow Group and Theater for the New City; John Warren is another familiar face on the island, having appeared in Sugrue plays at Horse Trade Theater and The Secret Theatre; Mary Tierney comes to PLUTO after a day teaching at Theater for the New City through the Crystal Field & Bloomberg philanthropies; film actor Peter Halpin created the role of Malachy McCourt in Alan Parker's acclaimed "Angela's Ashes" and debuted on stage in "Sive" directed by Tony Award winning Garry Hynes and on Broadway in Bloomsday, where he played opposite Gabriel Byrne; Myles O'Connor is a founding member of Locked in the Attic Productions, Mefisto Theatre Company, and a member of The Barrow Group; Jenni Halina's role in Angry Young Women resulted in a lead role in the spin­off web series of the same title.

And in the pivotal role of Peter Cooper is Patrick Brian Scherrer? who came out of retirement as an actor after reading some of Sugrue's work. He is now a repertory member of Locked in the Attic.

March 8 - 12; 14 - 16, 2016; Monday - Thursday 8 pm, Friday & Saturday 9:30 pm; 13th Street Repertory Theater, 50 west 13th Street, NYC.

ONE WAY TO PLUTO! premiering at the legendary 13th Street Playhouse is an existential journey through the life of Peter Cooper, a hostile persona struggling to make sense of his transgender dysphoria (the misery of feeling you are in the wrong body).

Comfort comes through a drug-fueled psychedelic journey to "Pluto" and back with Dwight, a chronic vagabond, and from an act of criminal desperateness, he befriends one of Pluto's "moons." This story is a restless exploration of one man's search to find meaning and delves into the fight against personal delusion, addiction, and the trepidation of inferiority.
