Photo Flash: First Look at FEATHERS AND TEETH as Part of 'New Stages' at Goodman Theatre

The 11th annual New Stages Festival kicked off at Goodman Theatre on October 29. Appearing in repertory alongside FEATHERS AND TEETH is THE MAGIC PLAY by Andrew Hinderaker, a play that fuses magic and reality directed by Halena Kays; and CARLYLE by Thomas Bradshaw, an exploration of right-wing politics in America through the eyes of an African American Republican directed by Benjamin Kamine. Scroll down for a first look at FEATHERS AND TEETH!

FEATHERS AND TEETH by Charise Castro Smith is directed by Henry Godinez. FEATHERS AND TEETH is a dark comedy that introduces an exotic creature into a fractured family, and features Jordan Brodess (Hugo), Olivia Cygan (Chris), Carolyn Hoerdemann (Ensemble), Melanie Keller (Carol) and Steve Key (Arthur). Jonathan L. Green is the dramaturg and Kimberly McCann is the stage manager. Feathers and Teeth was first seen as a staged reading in New Stages 2013.

The design team for all three developmental productions includes Kevin Depinet (sets), Christine Pascual (costumes), Jesse Klug (lights) and Mikhail Fiksel (sound). Casting was done by Adam Belcuore.

New Stages runs through November 16 in the Owen Theatre free of charge, but reservations are required at 312.443.3800, GoodmanTheatre.org/NewStages or the box office (170 N. Dearborn).
