Photo Flash: First Look at The Old Globe's BETHANY with Jennifer Ferrin & Carlo Alban

The Old Globe is currently presenting the West Coast premiere of Laura Marks's powerful new play Bethany. Directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch, Bethany will runs through Feb. 23, 2014 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, part of the Globe's Conrad Prebys Theatre Center. Opening night is Thursday, Jan. 30 at 8:00 p.m. Check out a first look below!

In Bethany, Crystal and Gary live in a nice home in the suburbs. Only it's not theirs. In fact, they didn't know each other before they moved in, and the story of how they got there is the beginning of Crystal's plan to get her life back on track. Between her job at the Saturn dealership, her new housemate's conspiracy theories, and the motivational speaker who just might buy that sports car, this new drama will take you on the ride of your life, with a woman willing to take on anything and everything...all for someone named Bethany.

The cast of Bethany features Jennifer Ferrin (Crystal), Carlo Albán (Gary), DeAnna Driscoll (Shannon), Amanda Naughton (Patricia), James Shanklin (Charlie), and Sylvia M'Lafi Thompson (Toni).

The creative team includes Lauren Helpern (Scenic Design), Sarah J. Holden (Costume Design), Japhy Weideman(Lighting Design), Leon Rothenberg (Original Music and Sound Design), J. David Brimmer (Fight Director),Caparelliotis Casting (Casting), and Diana Moser (Stage Manager).
