Cast Set for Riley Elton McCarthy's I'M GOING TO EAT YOU ALIVE At Culture Lab LIC

Basement Light Productions will present the World Premiere of i’m going to eat you alive, a queer horror play by Riley Elton McCarthy, directed by Brandon Urrutia at Culture Lab LIC, October 3-27.

Pica-afflicted geologist Roach is documenting his van life road trip across America. When the anniversary of the death of his mother coincides with the unfortunate parole release of his ex who put her in the ground, more than just his thesis on “the Mineral Compositions of America’s Greatest National Landmarks” is put into peril. 

The cast will feature Kai Justice Rosales (As You Like It at La Jolla Playhouse) as Roach, Alvin Christmas (The Brutes with Spit&Vigor) as August/Something Lurking, and Danielle Breitstein (Plague Play at IATI) as Ez/Voice of Mom. The creative team includes Sound & Projection Design by Mark Alberto McKnight (Like Father, Like Salt at The Players Theatre) and Set & Graphic Design by Michael Ruiz-del-Vizo (Randy’s Dandy Coaster Castle with Egg & Spoon Theatre).  

i’m going to eat you alive was a 2023 Semi-Finalist for the Eugene O’Neill National Playwriting Conference, and was developed in Workshop Theater’s Trans Affinity Intensive, led by Ashley Lauren Rogers and Al Parker. i’m going to eat you alive was first produced by Basement Light Productions at The Tank for a massively successful sold-out workshop in September 2023. It was a finalist for the 2024 Emergence Residency at Culture Lab LIC, where it was then selected for their Fall 2024 season.
