Award Winning Cast Headlines Michael Weller's SIDE EFFECTS At Mosaic

Award-Winning Cast Headlines Mosaic Theatre's
Production of Michael Weller's "Side Effects"
"One of the best plays of the year! This is a play that is a must see." - Times Square Chronicle

Award-winning Mosaic Theatre opens its 11th Season with the Southeast U.S. premiere of Side Effects, an intense, beautiful play which is a harrowing and unique journey, expertly plotted by playwright Michael Weller, author of Loose Ends, Fifty Words and the seminal masterpiece Moonchildren.

Hugh and Lindy's marriage seems picture perfect, a beacon in their microcosmic Midwestern world of dinner parties and fundraisers. But behind closed doors - doors they can barely keep shut - they're falling apart, and Hugh's rising political star is suddenly imperiled.

This production launches Mosaic Theatre's exciting new season and features Carbonell Award winners Jim Ballard and Deborah L. Sherman. Mr. Ballard is returning to Mosaic Theatre again after he was last seen in Dead Man's Cell Phone. Other regional credits include: The Adding Machine (Best Supporting Actor Carbonell Award) and In the Next Room at Gablestage; The Voysey Inheritance and Tuesdays with Morrie (Caldwell Theatre); Urinetown (Best Supporting Actor Carbonell Award) and 1776 (Actor's Playhouse), Dinner with Friends (DramaWorks); Leading Ladies and Deathtrap (Blowing Rock Stage Co.); Beauty and the Beast (Little Theatre on the Square and WSCT), and The Sound of Music (National and Asian Tours).

Deborah L. Sherman returns to the Mosaic Theatre after appearing in Rock 'n' Roll as Candida and as the drunken wife Hermia in Dead Man's Cell Phone. Her most recent credits include her work at Florida Stage in the world premiere of Goldie, Max and Milk for which she was honored with the Best Supporting Actress Carbonell Award. Ms. Sherman has appeared in productions all over South Florida including her work at GableStage in Carbonell Award winner Farragut North (Best Ensemble), Shining City and Ten Unknowns. She is Co-Founder and Producing Artistic Director of The Promethean Theatre.

Award Winning Director Richard Jay Simon will stage this Southeast U.S. Premiere and the creative team includes Set Designer Douglas Grinn, Lighting Designer Dan Gelbmann, Sound Designer Matt Corey (2011 Carbonell Award Winner), Resident Costume Designer K.
