Photo Flash: First Look at Shattered Globe's BURN THIS

Shattered Globe Theatre kicks off its 2012/13 Season with BURN THIS by Lanford Wilson, directed by Linda Gillum, playing now through November 18, 2012 at Theater Wit, 1229 W. Belmont Ave. in Chicago.

Set in a bohemian loft on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Lanford Wilson’s BURN THIS is a penetrating exploration of four violently opposing characters scrambling to regain control over their lives. Dancer-turned-choreographer Anna has built a life with her two gay roommates, advertising executive Larry and her artistic partner, Robbie – until Robbie’s untimely death. With the help of Anna’s longtime boyfriend, Burton, she and Larry have just begun to make sense of their new reality when their lives are suddenly turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of Robbie’s older brother, Pale. It is Pale’s presence – and the tension it generates – that forces each character to reexamine life, art, and passion.

The production team for BURN THIS includes: Andrew Hildner (Scenic Design), Christine Pascual (Costume Design), Richy Norwood (Lighting Design), Christopher Kriz (Sound Design), Vivian Knouse (Props Master), Jason Madeja (Videographer), Greg Poljacik (Fight Choreographer), Melissa Schlesinger (Production Manager), Lindsay Ricketts (Asst. Production Manager) Mike Falevits (Asst. Director), Jeffrey Stokes (Stage Manager), Lisa Coleman (Asst. Stage Manager), Amanda Rozmiarek (Technical Director/Master Carpenter), Rosie Chevalier (Producer) and Judy Anderson (Production Director).
