The Studio Theatre Will Present IN THE NEXT ROOM, OR THE VIBRATOR PLAY by Sara Ruhl

This month, The Studio Theatre™ Tierra del Sol (806 San Marino Drive, The Villages, FL) opens a REGIONAL PREMIER and the first production of its seventh season, In the Next Room, or the vibrator play by Sarah Ruhl.

In the Next Room, or the vibrator play is a hysterical comedy about marriage, intimacy, and medicine. In 1880 at the dawn of electricity, Dr. Givings has invented an extraordinary new device to treat "hysteria" in women (and some men): the vibrator. This treatment, administered in his private home office, involves draining "emotional excess" by inducing a paroxysm. In the next room, his young and energetic wife, Catherine, wonders how her husband helps his patients while she tries to tend to their newborn daughter. When a new "hysterical" patient and her husband bring their own complicated relationship and a wet nurse into the doctor's home, the Givings couple must confront the nature of their own marriage and what it truly means to love someone. With a revolving door of amusing characters, In the Next Room is never campy or lurid. This discreetly sensual comedy shares the heartbreak, humor, and humanity in our closest relationships.

The complete cast includes: Lily Steven (Catherine Givings), Joe Llorens (Dr. Givings), Whitney Morse (Sabrina Daldry), Alyson Johnson (Annie), Jada Griffin (Elizabeth), Faiz Siddique (Leo Irving), Matt Katzenmeier (Mr. Daldry), Leslie Munson (U/S Catherine Givings), Joe Llorens (U/S Dr. Givings), Ashleigh Ann Gardner (U/S Annie/ Sabrina), and Mark Kirschenbaum (U/S Dr. Givings/ Mr. Daldry/ Leo Irving)
