La Jolla Playhouse presents Tribes, now through July 21 in the Mandell Weiss Forum. Scroll down for a first look at the cast in action!
Nominated for the 2010 Olivier Award for Best Play and winner of the 2012 Drama Desk and New York Critics Circle Awards, Tribes offers a biting, yet comic look at family dynamics. At its center is Billy, the deaf son of a raucous family of intellectuals obsessed with self-expression. As his parents and siblings verbally spar and compete for attention, Billy catches what he can by lip-reading. When he finds a new family in the deaf community, a new world opens up to him and tensions reach an all-time high in this new play about membership in your tribe - and hearing what isn't said.
Tribes, by Nina Raine and directed by David Cromer, features an amazing group of actors, all of whom appeared in the award-winning Off-Broadway production, including Thomas DellaMonica as "Daniel," Russell Harvard as "Billy," Meghan O'Neill as "Sylvia," Lee Roy Rogers as "Beth," Jeff Still as "Christopher" and DIna Thomas as "Ruth."
The Tribes creative team includes Scott Pask, Scenic Designer; Tristan Raines, Costume Designer; Keith Parham, Lighting Designer;Daniel Kluger, Sound Designer; and Jeff Sugg, Projection & Video Designer.
