In Nikolai Erdman's dark farce, The Suicide, unlikely hero Semyon Semyonovich, longs to make a dramatic change in his life following a year of unemployment. His first idea--to make a living as a concert tuba player is dashed when he realizes he also needs a piano in order to tune his instrument. Cast back into despair, he determines to take his own life, blaming no one for his decision. As the news spreads quickly, a whole host of characters arrive hoping to take advantage of his action. But as they propel him enthusiastically forward towards his chosen path, Semyon begins to have doubts about the whole proposition. 

The Suicide features: Ryan Baumann, Amber Bryce, Joseph Collement, Benjamin Couch, Taylor Dean, Cole Eubanks, Thomas Goldsmith, Claire Gordon-Harper, Jess Hager, Becky Jacks, Luke Jorgan Metherell, Nova Ropp, James Stenger, Trevor Thompson, John Trethart, Jessica Vasquez, and Paige Wilson.
