World Premiere of PLAGUE PLAY To Open Lakehouseranchdotpng's Second Season

Lakehouseranchdotpng is launching into their second season with the world premiere of Erin Proctor's thrilling new work - Plague Play. The production runs August 18-27 at Artistic Vibes in Kendall, FL.

Does violence simply beget more violence? Two brothers are granted the power to destroy a mighty civilization in an attempt to emancipate their own. A deconstruction of the Book of Exodus, Plague Play is an examination of the cycle of violence, oppression, and self-determination in a diaspora, whether it be three thousand years ago or today.

Plague Play is the second World Premiere from Erin Proctor to be produced by Lakehosueranchdotpng as a part of her residency with the company. Plague Play was initially developed with Uncle Mike Productions in New York City in 2022 and was a semifinalist for the Jewish Play's Project's 12th Annual Jewish Playwriting Contest in 2023.

Lakehouseranchdotpng's own Brandon Urrutia will be directing this new play, helming his second season as Artistic Director.

Plague Play stars an ensemble of four local actors: Ruki Etti as Miriam, Lucy Lopez as Tzipporah, Jedhi Weir as Aaron, and Kyran Wright as Moses.

Resident Scenic Designer Indy Sulliero and Resident Costume Designer Maleeha Naseer return to design.
