casting announcement ANNAPURNA Actors Theatre

Cathy Dresbach

Actors Theatre has just announced the cast of their upcoming two character play Annapurna.

Kirk Jackson will play Ulysses and Cathy Dresbach will be playing Emma.

Directed by Matthew Wiener, The New York Times characterized Sharr White’s breathtaking story about the longevity of love as an “unpacking and repackaging of the tangled history” between Emma, who walked out on her cowboy-poet husband 20 years earlier, and Ulysses, who lives mostly without clothes in a grimy trailer in the mountains above a tiny Colorado town.

“Cathy and Kirk are perfect for this play, and are going to rock the audience,” Wiener said.  “I’m thrilled to be working again with them.  Kirk and I go back more than 25 years and I’ve worked with Cathy for nearly 15 years.”

Creative team for Annapurna includes Jeff Thomson, set design; Lois Myers, costume design; Tim Monson, lighting design; and Christopher Neumeyer, sound design.  Aaron Wheeler is stage manager.

            Tickets are $40 for general admission, $54 for VIP reserved seats, $35 for seniors 65 and over and $20 students with ID.
