THE LOST CHILD by Jennifer W. Roland & Directed by Denise Blasor

Runs Fridays at 8:30pm and Sundays at 7:00pm

Rich with mystery and metaphor,  The Lost Child is an emotional thriller that follows an estranged couple as they return to their deserted cabin in the woods to pack it all up. When a storm moves in, a mysterious child appears…could this be their lost child?

“In The Lost Child, parenthood is harrowing – but it’s also humbling, and I think that people will laugh (and maybe scream!), in recognition of that paradoxical situation. Both plays live at the intersection of the real and the supernatural.” – Jennifer W. Rowland, Playwright

CAST for The Lost Child: Addie Daddio, Marilyn Fitoria, and Peter James Smith

PRODUCTION TEAM: Gary Grossman (Producer), Stephanie Kerley Schwartz (Set Design), Jeff McLaughlin (Lighting Design), Christopher Moscatiello (Sound Design), and Sarah Figoten (Costume Design)
