Photo Flash: First Look at PTP/NYC's SERIOUS MONEY at Atlantic Stage 2

PTP/NYC, in association with Middlebury College, presents its 27th repertory season, its 7th consecutive in New York, running from now through August 4, 2013 in a limited Off-Broadway engagement at The Atlantic Stage 2, located at 330 West 16th Street between 8th & 9th Avenues in New York City. This season's line-up includes a revival of last season's acclaimed production of Caryl Churchill's Serious Money, about greed in London's financial district in the late '80s, directed by PTP's Co-Artistic Director Cheryl Faraone. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

In a scathing satire set in the trading pits and boardrooms of London's financial district, acclaimEd English playwright Caryl Churchill tackles the insider trading, corporate raiding and leveraged buyouts of the late '80s. Churchill's acidly funny, cocaine-fueled ride examines the abuses of power, greed and sexual politics that continue to resonate with the current global financial crisis. Fiercely witty and shockingly prophetic, Serious Money also features music and lyrics by Ian Dury, Micky Gallagher and Chas Jankel.

The cast includes David Barlow (Horizon at NY Theatre Workshop, Oroonoko with Theater for a New Audience, Victory with PTP), NYIT Award winner Megan Byrne (Territories, The Europeans and No End of Blame with PTP), Nesba Crenshaw, NYIT Award nominee Alex Draper (A Map of Virtue with 13P, Terrorism with New Group, Scenes From An Execution and Lovesong of the Electric Bear with PTP), Aubrey Dube, Jay Dunn, Steven Dykes (Victory with PTP and Vanya with The Wrestling School), Tara Giordano (Lovesong of the Electric Bear and Politics of Passion with PTP), Jeanne laSala Taylor (No End of Blame with PTP), Mathew Nakitare (Victory and A Question of Mercy with PTP), Noah Berman, Madeley Crenshaw-Dykes, Sarah Lusche, Adam Milano, Molly O'Keefe, Isabel Shill and Mari Vial-Golden.
