WHORL INSIDE A LOOP, Starring Sherie Rene Scott, Extends Off-Broadway

BroadwayWorld has confirmed that Second Stage Theatre's production of DICK SCANLAN and SHERIE RENE SCOTT'S play, Whorl Inside a Loop, has been extended one week and will now play through Sunday, September 27th. The production is co-directed by Michael Mayer and Mr. Scanlan, the creative team behind the Tony-nominated, critically acclaimed hit, Everyday Rapture, which had its world premiere at Second Stage Theatre in 2009.

Two-time Tony nominee Sherie Rene Scott is joined by Derrick Baskin (...Spelling Bee), Nicholas Christopher (Motown), Chris Myers (An Octoroon), Ryan Quinn (King Lear), Daniel J. Watts (In the Heights), and Donald Webber, Jr. (Motown).

WHORL INSIDE A LOOP, a New York Times and Time Out New York Critic's Pick, opened on Thursday, August 27th to much critical praise. The New York Times calls it, "Riveting Theater! A funny and moving new play with superlative performances from a superb cast." The New Yorker remarks, "Led by the remarkable Sherie Rene Scott, the cast is excellent without exception. The beautifully staged Whorl has a mysterious, searching quality that's very rare for contemporary plays." The New York Post proclaims the cast of Whorl Inside a Loop "Stellar. Not since HBO's 'The Wire' has there been such a stellar, dynamite ensemble of actors. And The Huffington Post declares it "touching and enlightening. Only the hardest heart would stay unmoved."

A well-regarded actress agrees to teach six inmates how to tell their stories behind the bars of a men's maximum security prison. Sharing intimate and sometimes hilarious details of their former lives, this unlikely group forms a bond -- even as the actress' life outside spins out of control. And when what happens in prison doesn't stay there, no one is sure who to trust. From the team that brought you Everyday Rapture, this new play features Sherie Rene Scott and six men playing two dozen characters in a constant shifting of scenes, ages, genders and races. WHORL INSIDE A LOOP explores the fine line between convicted felons and the criminal inside each of us, the viability of forgiveness and the unreliability of redemption.
