I was very excited to learn today that Steve Tolin will be designing the visual effects for PPTCO’s production of THE REVENANTS. Tolin has become infamous in the national theatre scene for his sensational effects and stage violence in regional productions of Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore (including Northlight Theatre’s recent Chicago production). Having just seen Lieutenant in Chicago recently, I’m pretty psyched about his involvement. Very cool.
Performance dates for Pittsburgh are set as well:
October 16-31, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and 11pm
Plus special performances Wednesday and Thursday, October 28-29
Auditions are coming up, in the meantime, here’s the crew thus far:
Mark Whitehead – Director and Sound Designer
Eric A. Smith – Production Manager and Lighting Designer
Raymond “Chang” James – Set Designer
Steve Tolin – Special Visual Effects
Cheryl El Walker – Costume Designer
Mark C. Thompson – Movement Consultant
Jason Stinnette – Stage Manager
James Edwards – Props
