Kitchen Dog Theater presents
Safe at Home
by Gabriel Greene & Alex Levy
*2nd Ever Production - Regional Premiere*
Director: Jack Reuler
Kitchen Dog Theater kicks off Season 33 with the second-ever professional production of Safe at Home by Gabriel Greene and Alex Levy. In less than two hours, star pitcher Victor Castillo is set to take the mound for game 7 of the World Series. But when a rumor begins to circulate that Castillo may use the sport’s biggest stage as a political protest, the shock waves hit all corners of the stadium, from the owner’s box to the locker room. An engaging and provocative site-specific work designed to be performed inside a baseball stadium, Safe at Home examines the complex intersection between baseball, politics, and the American Dream.
Instead of creating nine interiors in a traditional theatre with a stationary audience, Riders Field expands the art form of theatre, with its existent spaces becoming stages for a cast of actors who repeat their scenes over and over as the patrons, not the cast, move from scene to scene.
Founder/Artistic Director Emeritus of Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis Jack Reuler (Director) has assembled a great team for the production. The all-star 18-person ensemble features KDT Artistic Company Members Lee George (Barry), Max Hartman (Charlie), Barry Nash (Tim Donovan), and Jamal Sterling (Andy Bradford) alongside local luminaries Jovane Caamaño (Ramon Gonzalez), Andrés Carbonell (Marine), Rosaura Cruz (Andrea Leighton), Victoria Angelina Cruz (Alejandra), Ryan Michael Friedman (Victor Castillo), Francine Gonzalez (Lucia), Bill Hass (Angelo Baker), Whitney Holotik (Friar), Lana K. Hoover (Phyllis), Brandy McClendon Kae (Stephanie Laird), Jennifer Kuenzer (Alison Shelby), Omar Padilla (Chicken), and Bryan Pitts (Gerald Carter). The production team features KDT Artistic Company Members Claire Carson (Sound Design Team), Abby Kraemer and Ruth Stephenson (Stage Managers) alongside Zak Gutzwiler(Sound Design Team), Straton Rushing (Dramaturg and Media Design) and Susan Yanofsky (Costume Design).
