BCT Continues Record-Breaking Season with World Premiere of HOUSE OF TOMORROW

Boise Contemporary Theater continues its record-breaking, best-selling 22nd season with the upcoming world premiere of the 2017 BCT River Prize Winner, Cat Crowley's House of Tomorrow. The brand-new play is in the final stages of development, with playwright Cat Crowley in town to add the final touches to the script during rehearsals with the cast.

House of Tomorrow serves as a sort of BCT reunion, bringing together some of the actors from BCT's early years, including Sara Bruner as Patty Studebaker, returning to the BCT stage after 12 years, Nicholas Paul ("Nick") Garcia as John Jupiter, and BCT Founding Artistic Director Matthew Cameron Clark as the voice of HANC, the Home Analysis Networking Computer. The production also features three exciting new talents on stage: NYC-based Ravin Patterson as Jane Jupiter, Boise-based Arianne Sermonia as Little Jenny, and Dakota Brown, a staple of the 5X5 and Children's Reading Series, making his BCT Mainstage debut as Mr. Salesman/Rex Rocket. BCT Associate Artist and Education Director Dwayne Blackaller directs, the set designer is Will Ledbetter, costume designer is Hannah Read Newbill, lighting designer is Chaz Gentry, sound designer is Peter John Still, technical director is Michael Hartwell, and props master is Sam Flynn. Filmmaker Cody Gittings, who has been producing promotional videos with BCT since 2013, joins the production team for the first time as our Video Designer. The assistant director is Tiara Thompson, stage manager is Sarah Kelso, assistant stage manager is Elizabeth Rathbone.

About the play:

Outfitted with all the modern conveniences, the Jupiters are a model family living inside the home of tomorrow. But even in this Jetsons-like futurescape, a family's secrets can still tarnish the dazzling sheen of chrome and plastic. House of Tomorrow is winner of the 2017 BCT River Prize and will have its world premiere on the BCT Mainstage February 21 - March 10.

About the BCT River Prize:

The BCT River Prize is an annual fellowship, including a commission, awarded to support a playwright in developing a new play through the writing and workshop process into a full premiere production. Every play travels a unique course, beginning from the idea at its source. The BCT River Prize provides the resources and openness to see where that course will take us.
