Photo Flash: First Look at The Old Globe's GOD OF CARNAGE

In God of Carnage, two sets of parents gather in an upscale Brooklyn home to discuss a playground altercation between their sons. At first civility is upheld, but as the conversation goes off track and the rum bottle opens, decorum flies out the window and leads to a hilarious afternoon of name-calling, tantrums and tears. Yasmina Reza's comedy is a four-way prizefight that is not to be missed.

The cast of God of Carnage features Old Globe/University of San Diego Graduate Theatre Program alumni Caitlin Muelder (Annette Raleigh), Erika Rolfsrud (Veronica Novak) and Lucas Caleb Rooney (Michael Novak). Muelder appeared at the Globe in Vincent in Brixton, The Merry Wives of Windsor and Othello, and her Broadway credits include the Tony Award-nominated musical The Invention of Love. Rolfsrud's Globe credits include Sea of Tranquility, The Seagull, Cymbeline, Henry IV, Dancing at Lughnasa, Macbeth and The Gate of Heaven, and she has appeared on Broadway in The Coast of Utopia, Exit the King and Rabbit Hole. Rooney appeared at the Globe in last season's Death of a Salesman in addition to All My Sons, Compleat Female Stage Beauty and Twelfth Night, and he was featured on Broadway in The Country Girl and Henry IV directed by Jack O'Brien.

Rounding out the cast is T. Ryder Smith (Alan Raleigh), who has previously appeared at the Globe in Cornelia, In This Corner and Lincolnesque, for which he won a San Diego Theatre Critics Circle Craig Noel Award. He has been seen on Broadway in War Horse and Equus.

The creative team includes Robert Morgan (Scenic and Costume Design), Chris Rynne (Lighting Design), Paul Peterson (Sound Design) and Annette Yé (Stage Manager).
