PRESS  RELEASE

Redtwist announces the opening of
Lobby Hero
By Kenneth Lonergan
on Thursday, December 2, at 7:30pm
Directed by Keira Fromm
Casting Associate, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre

Using its storefront windows to reveal the energy of Bryn Mawr Avenue, Redtwist transforms its black box into the lobby of a Manhattan high rise.

The Play
A clever and witty drama about right and wrong and the blurry line that separates the two. Lobby Hero is the hopeful tale of Jeff, a bright and charming young man with big dreams who works as a security guard in the lobby of a Manhattan high-rise. Feeling firmly stuck, Jeff is suddenly thrust into the middle of a front-page murder case.

Cast: Eric Hoffmann (Bill); Andrew Jessop (Jeff); Maura Kidwell (Dawn); Michael Pogue (William)

Staff: Keira Fromm (Director); Chris Brown (Asst. Director); Allison Raynes (Stage Manager); Stephanie McSharry (Asst. Stage Manager); Ryan Patrick Dolan (Dramaturge); Andrew Jessop (Set Design); Christopher Burpee (Lighting Design); Christopher Kriz (Sound Design & Original Music); Joelle Beranek (Costume Design); Joel Lambie (Prop Design & Set Construction); Michael Colucci & Jan Ellen Graves (Producers); Andrew Jessop & Johnny Garcia (Associate Producers)
