Las Vegas Little Theatre has announced the cast and creative team for David Lindsay-Abaire’s comedy, “RIPCORD.” What happens when two new roommates make a seemingly harmless bet? It launches a war of one-up-“womanship” at the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility.
The perpetually sunny Marilyn (Sherri Brewer) has just moved in and the gloriously grumpy Abby (Teresa Fullerton) immediately plots to evict her new roommate. When the two women make a wager for the bed by the window, things escalate.
Lindsay-Abaire is a versatile playwright and screenwriter who earned a Pulitzer Prize in 2007 for his drama “RABBIT HOLE.” Among his other plays are “FUDDY MEERS,” “KIMBERLY AKIMBO” and “GOOD PEOPLE,” which won the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play.
RIPCORD is directed by Rob Kastil and also includes local actors Gillen Brey, Kyle Jones, Heath Robertson, and Joel Wayman. Ron Lindblom designed the set, Ginny Adams designed the lights, and Julie Horton designed the costumes. Jim Braun, as stage manager, completes this creative team.
RIPCORD plays on the mainstage live March 15-17 at Las Vegas Little Theatre at 3920 Schiff Drive, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at www.lvlt.org or by calling the box office during normal box office hours at 702-362-7996.
