In No Place to Go, a dedicated corporate "information refiner" has learned that his company is moving to a cheaper, but very (very) remote, location and taking the jobs with it. Backed by a jazz band, this permanent part-timer must decide whether to go and uproot his family's life or embark on an unknown venture. Sardonic wit merges with clever jazz, blues and bluegrass music for an irreverent capitalist critique of the personal cost of doing business. In addition to Bobby Smith, the cast for No Place to Go includes Tom Lagana (Signature's Chess, The Kennedy Center's Little Shop of Horrors) as Jonah/Guitar, Ian M. Riggs (The Public Theater's No Place to Go, Broadway's Mean Girls) as Duke/Bass & Guitar, and Grant Langford (Signature's Ain't Misbehavin', ArtCentric's Technicolor) as Sal/Saxophone.
The creative team for No Place to Go includes Scenic Design by Paige Hathaway (Signature's The Upstairs Department, Round House Theatre's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time), Costume Design by Frederick P. Deeben (Signature's Midnight at The Never Get, PCPA Theaterfest's Oklahoma!), Lighting Design by Max Doolittle (Olney Theatre Center's Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Studio Theatre's Every Brilliant Thing), and Sound Design by Matt Rowe (Signature's Miss Saigon, Olney Theatre Center's A.D. 16).
