Mad Cow Theatre is thrilled to announce the cast for Collected Stories by Donald Margulies in The Black Box at Mad Cow's new home at 54 West Church Street. Check out a first look at the production below!

This acclaimed drama by Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies chronicles the relationship between two female writers - a celebrated New York author and her young protégé. As their fascinating story evolves and the line between fact and fiction blurs, the twists and turns of this complex relationship weave a play that's as smart and witty as it is powerful.

Ensconced in her Greenwich Village apartment, acclaimed writer and professor Ruth Steiner decides to take on Lisa, a 26-year-old graduate student, as her assistant. Over the course of six years, Ruth and Lisa's relationship evolves and a friendship blossoms as the prickly, temperamental author shepherds her star-struck student toward her first success in the publishing world. But when Lisa's new book exposes intimate details of Ruth's life, and her fame threatens to overshadow her teacher, the mentor-mentee relationship is turned on its head.

Collected Stories will be directed by guest director Denise Gillman (Legacy of Light, Eurydice, Mary's Wedding, Pericles) and features Karel K. Wright (Enchanted April, She Stoops to Conquer, The Heiress) as Ruth and Piper Rae Patterson (Enchanted April, Dancing at Lughnasa) as Lisa.

Scenic Design by Richard Russell (Mass Appeal), Costume Design by Emily Smith (August: Osage County, Laughter on the 23rd Floor), Lighting Design by Erin Miner (Sunday in the Park with George, The Pitmen Painters, Mrs. Warren's Profession, Company), and Sound Design by Carson Scott. Stage Manager is Linda Romanello.

Collected Stories runs from June 21 - July 14, 2013 at Mad Cow Theatre, 54 West Church Street in Downtown Orlando.

Opening night is Friday, June 21, 2013 with a reception following the performance.

A Pay What You Wish Performance is Wednesday, July 10. Tickets are $15.00 in advance and Pay What You Wish at the door. The Pay What You Wish tickets will be sold only in person at the Box Office starting at 7pm.

Tickets are $34 and are available online at madcowtheatre.com and by calling the Mad Cow Theatre box office at 407.297.8788 x1.
