Nutshell Productions Presents The New York Premiere of Jose Antigo

Nutshell Productions has announced the New York premiere of Robert Cartwright's drama Jose Antigo at the American Theater of Actors February 20th through March 4th.

About the show: "Set in rural Iowa, where a munitions factory serves as the only industry for miles around, Jose Antigo begins when a stranger turns up at a local diner known more for its small-town gossip than its coffee and daily specials. In just a few days the eponymous stranger begins to play a vital role at the diner, so much so that its matron, Betty, defends his character when mysterious events begin to happen around town. For some people in town, however, Jose Antigo's racial and physical Otherness is too much to bear, let alone to trust. His mission is unclear, his look is unfamiliar but his impact is significant. Jose Antigo breaks the routine of this near-forgotten place, a place where some are stuck, some long to escape, but no one could anticipate the events that follow the arrival of Jose Antigo."

Richard Hymes-Esposito directs the cast which includes RJ Batlle, Daniel Hainsworth, Phoebe Halkowich, John Paul Harkins and Sarah E. Jacobs. Set Design is by Robert Lee Simmons. Lighting and Sound Design by Roy T. Chang. Stage Manager Charles C. Casano.

Tickets can be purchased at SmartTix.com or through the production website at JoseAntigo.com. Jose Antigo will run two previews beginning February 20th and officially open on February 22nd.
