The Profiles Theatre’s production of Killer Joe, written by Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts, will transfer to the Royal George Theatre’s Cabaret space for an 8-week run, April 15- June 6. The production, directed by Rick Snyder, is currently playing at Profiles through April 11.

The play focuses on the members of a greedy, vindictive Texas clan who hatch a plot to murder their estranged mother to cash in on her insurance policy. The entire cast will continue in their roles, with the company featuring Darrell W. Cox (Killer Joe Cooper), Somer Benson (Sharla), Kevin Bigley (Chris), Howie Johnson (Ansel), and Claire Wellin (Dottie).

The creative team includes Sotirios Livaditis (scenic design), Jessica Harpenau (lighting design), Darcy McGill (costume design), and Kevin O’Donnell (sound design and original music).
