"POCATELLO" at Rogue Machine - extended to April 10, 2016!
NOW EXTENDED THROUGH APRIL 10, 2016! LA TIMES CRITIC'S CHOICE! "The performers disappear into these very real people. John Perrin Flynn directs with a quiet empathy and sharp attention to detail. Hunter writes with preternatural insight into people of all ages and wildly differing circumstances." - LA Times STAGE RAW RECOMMENDED! “Samuel Hunter invests each of these characters with funny, forgivable humanity. Consummately directed by John Perrin Flynn, the ensemble splendidly exploits the pathos and the humor." - Stage Raw "Extraordinary! Don't ignore this play! "Pocatello" captures a particular sense of loss and displacement, a complicated mix of nostalgia and longing for a world that no longer exists. It touches on the fear and loss that's animating our presidential politics. The cast is superb." - KCRW OVATION RECOMMENDED! Rogue Machine Theatre presents The West Coast Premiere of "POCATELLO" by Samuel D. Hunter Directed by John Perrin Flynn Featuring: Eden Brolin, Anne Gee Byrd, Matthew Elkins, Rebecca Larsen, Tracie Lockwood, Rob Nagle, Justin Okin, Melissa Paladino, Trevor Peterson, Jennifer Pollono and Mark L. Taylor Scenic Design by Stephanie Kerley Schwartz Costume Design by Elizabeth A. Cox Lighting Design by Ric Zimmerman Sound Design by Christopher Moscatiello Synopsis: Eddie manages an Italian chain restaurant in Pocatello — a small, unexceptional American city that is slowly being paved over with strip malls and franchises. But he is struggling to maintain his sense of home in his own hometown, anxiously grappling with the changing landscape and his shifting relationships with family and co-workers. Against the harsh backdrop of Samuel D. Hunter’s Idaho, this heartbreaking comedy is a cry for connection in an increasingly lonely American landscape.
