Theatre Tribe will present the Los Angeles premiere of the 2004 Kaufman and Hart award-winning play, The Sleeper, written by Catherine Butterfieldand directed by Stuart Rogers . The Sleeper will open on Friday, May 25 and continue through Saturday, June 30.
In the play, a suburban “security mom,” shell-shocked by the new post 9/11 reality, finds herself irresistibly drawn to her son’s tutor, a handsome young man with political leanings far different from her own. Her “awakening” leads to a bizarre series of events that blow the lid off her previously sheltered existence and change the lives of all around her.
The cast will include Mandy Levin, Pete Gardner, Corie Vickers, Ben Mathes, Heather Robinson, Rob Mathes and Ian Gould.
The design team includes Jeff McLaughlin (set design), Jeremy Pivnick (lighting design), Cricket S. Myers (sound design), Suzie Gardner (producer), and Tina Spears (stage manager).
