The New Colony to Remount Frat
(Courtesy of the company)
The New Colony is set to present a remount of their 2009 hit Frat, at The Apartment Lounge in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood, September 16-October 22.
Based on the experiences of playwright Evan Linder as a fraternity member at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, Frat follows the progress of four freshmen who pledge the fictitious Theta Pi Psi fraternity. The environmental design by Kevin McClintock enhances the post-collegiate apartment décor of the nightclub, transforming it into a fraternity house that will take audiences back to their college days.
Audiences will be invited to arrive one half-hour early for each performance for a rush party in which they can meet the brothers of Theta Pi as well as their fellow prospective members.
The new production will reunite Frat‘s original director Andrew Hobgood, Artistic Director of The New Colony, with most of the cast from the 2009 world premiere production. The cast will include Joel Booster (Ross ), Will Cavedo (Fleet), Caitlin Chuckta (Katie), Pat Coakley (Todd), Jared Fernley (Blake), Steve Gensler (Benjamin), Meg Johns (Sara Catherine), Alexander Lane (Michael), Evan Linder(Andy), Thea Lux (Natalie), Wes Needham (Steven), Benno Nelson (Bennett), Henry Riggs (Dave), Brandon Ruiter (Luke), Tara Sissom (Amy), Kevin Stangler (Fulton), Gary Tiedemann(Jerry), and Quinn White (Kevin).
