Bringing stories that have been brushed aside to the front.
The Front Theatre is seeking non-AEA actors for our upcoming North American premiere of SAP by Rafaella Marcus, directed by Charles Riffenburg, at The Den Theatre. The show will run approximately 90 minutes and will be staged in the round.
ABOUT THE SHOW
A woman’s lie to her girlfriend threatens to grow out of control when a man from her past uses it against her. A contemporary thriller with ancient roots, Sap is a poetic and timely new play about passion, power, bisexual erasure, domestic violence, and the danger of hiding who you are. PLEASE NOTE: This show engages with the topics of stalking and sexual assault.
