THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION Comes to Tacoma Little Theatre Next Month

Tacoma Little Theatre closes its 104th Season with The Shawshank Redemption, by Owen O'Neill & Dave Johns. This powerful and moving story will be directed by Blake R. York.

Based on the novella by Stephen King, this adaptation of The Shawshank Redemption hearkens to the 1994 critically acclaimed film, bringing audiences to the edge of their seats. Andy Dufresne is convicted of the murder of his wife and her lover and sentenced to life imprisonment at Shawshank prison. While at Shawshank, Andy befriends some of the other inmates, namely a character known as Red. Over time Andy finds a way to live out life with as much relative ease as one can find in prison, leaving a message for all that while the body may be locked away in a cell, the spirit can never be truly imprisoned.

Tacoma Little Theatre's production of The Shawshank Redemption features MASON QUINN as Andy, Mark Peterson as Red, Joseph Grant as Warden Stammas, Joshua Johnson as Hadley, Alex Vowles as Entwistle, Darius Sakui as Tommy Williams, Beau Prichard as Dawkins, Ton Williams as Rico, Roger Iverson as Brooksie, Joshua Olver as Bogs Diamond, Paul Richter as Rooster, Jeffrey York as Pinky, and Nathan Lovitt, Glenn Fischer & Russ Coffey as Ensemble.
