Two-time Golden Globe® winner, Academy Award® & Tony Award® nominee Kathleen Turner will launch the National Tour of Matthew Lombardo’s play HIGH, December 6 – 11, 2011 at the Cutler Majestic Theatre. Directed by Rob Ruggiero, HIGH also features Evan Jonigkeit as “Cody Randall” and Timothy Altmeyer as “Father Michael Delpapp”.
Kathleen Turner returns to Boston for the first time since her Tony® nominated performance as “Martha” in the 2005 Tony Award® winning revival of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Other notable performances include Cat on A Hot Tin Roof, Indiscretions and The Graduate. "I am so glad to be continuing my work on this extraordinary play”, Turner said in a statement. 'High' has been a compelling, rewarding experience and I am looking forward to bringing this tour to Boston, a city I love and has been so welcoming to me."
When Sister Jamison Connelly (Turner) agrees to sponsor a 19 year-old drug user in an effort to help him combat his addiction, her own faith is ultimately tested. Struggling between the knowledge she possesses as a rehabilitation counselor and a woman of religious conviction, she begins to question her belief in miracles and whether people can find the courage to change. HIGH explores the universal themes of truth, forgiveness, redemption and human fallibility.
The HIGH National Tour will include 8-10 more cities including Fort Lauderdale, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Chicago, San Francisco and others (more dates and venues TBA soon). A London production is also being planned for the summer of 2012.
HIGH is produced by Ann Cady Scott & Timothy J. Hampton in association with The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. The design team includes David Gallo (sets), Jess Goldstein (costumes) John Lasiter (lighting) and Vincent Olivieri (sound & original music).
Ages: HIGH contains mature themes, strong language, and nudity.
