InFusion Presents Video-Infused Play 'Intrigue With Faye'

InFusion Theatre Company continues its second season with the Midwest premiere of Intrigue With Faye by Kate Robin, writer/producer of HBO's Emmy-award winning series "Six Feet Under."  Taking a page from the design concept of InFusion's production of The Last Supper, this "video-infused" play is directed by Artistic Director Mitch Golob.

Previews are April 14-16 at 8PM; Opening Night is Thursday April 17 at 8PM; with performances through June 1, 2008.  Show times are Thursdays and Fridays at 8PM; Saturdays at 9PM and Sundays at 5PM.

"This play explores the intimate world of an urban couple who reach an impasse in their relationship when an infidelity is revealed.  Determined to repair their broken trust, documentary filmmaker Kean proposes to therapist Lissa that they videotape their every move. The dark comedy, which draws on references to reality television, delves into issues of exhibitionism, narcissism, confession and modern society's increasing tendency to track the actions of everyday citizens," explain press notes.

Intrigue With Faye features Steve O'Connell (as Kean) and Leah Nuetzel (as Lissa). Video actors include Jim Farrugio (as Frank), Dan Flannery and Maureen Tolman Flannery (as Married Couple) Callie Munson (as Tina), Kevin Stark (as Male Patient) and Leah Wagner (as Faye).

The creative team includes Mitch Golob (Director), Bridgette O'Connor (Production Manager/Assistant Director), James Gibson (Props Design) and Tara Malpass (Stage Manager).  With guest artists Lucas Merino (Video Design) , Chelsea Meyers (Scenic Design), Michael Smallwood (Lighting Design), Scotty Iseri (Sound Design) and Christine Pascual (Costume Design).
