As The Maze, a Big Brother-type “reality” television show, gets ready for their big live finale, the house is invaded by a mysterious, uninvited family of characters who insist that they aren’t people at all but actual characters sprung to life from the imagination of an author. In front of the cameras and the live audience, the cast and crew wrestle with what is really real vs. what is true and how to transform their life stories into art and entertainment. Twin Cities playwright and director Alan Berks brings this landmark of modern theatre into the 21st century world of social media, celebrity, and unscripted TV. “Since unscripted television, the internet, and social media so drastically affect how we present ourselves to others —the nature of character, truth, and our own identities —I think we’ve finally caught up with a 94-year-old play that shocked the world when it was first produced.” — Alan Berks, Director/Adapter Cast Crew Adapted and Directed by Alan Berks Costume Design by Andrea Gross Puppets by Christopher Lutter-Gardella Scenic Design by Zeb Hults Sound Design by Katharine Horowitz Lighting Design by Jesse Cogswell Video Design by Paul Moehring Stage Management by Jacob Miller and Tracy Swenson *member, actors’ equity association Six Characters in Search of an Author | Apr 19 – May 8, 2016 on the ANDY BOSS THRUST STAGE T: 2 Sugars Tuesday P: Preview $: Pay What You Will Wednesday O: Opening Night D: Post-show Discussion AD: Audio Description ASL: American Sign Language C: Open Captioning New! 2 Sugars Tuesday (calendar code = T) Join Carolyn Pool and Shanan Custer (of 2 Sugars, Room for Cream) at 7pm for a cup of your favorite poison and the Twin Cities’ most unique warm-up act. $20 includes a drink voucher and general admission seating to the show.
