K OF D Added to B Street Theatre's 2012-13 Season

The B Street Theatre weaves a spine-tingling tale of loss and revenge in the backwoods of Middle America with Laura Schellhardt's The K of D.  Long-time B Street Company members Tara Sissom and Jason Kuykendall create memorable characters as they explore the dark realm of this urban legend.  When a reckless driver tragically hits little Charlotte McGraw's twin brother Jamie, he gives her a strange, dangerous gift upon dying no one can explain.  Charlottle's rag-tag posse of friends seek revenge on Jamie's killer, Jonny Whistler, who moves in next door and ignites a vicious family feud.  But how the feud ends, and who has the last say, remains a provocative mystery.

The B Street Theatre is proud to uphold its commitment to providing quality professional theatre to the Sacramento community by producing Laura Schellhardt's The K of D.  Schellhardt studied playwrighting under such formidable talents as John Logan, author of B Street's highly acclaimed production of Red, and Paula Vogel.  She currently teaches playwrighting at Northwestern University and her work has been staged in New York, Chicago, and across the country.

The K of D: an urban legend replaces Maple and Vine as the third show in B Street's 2012-2013 Mainstage Season.
