Single mother Elizabeth Miller is having a bad day. A tree has crashed through her ceiling, the fridge is on the fritz, a forceful crowd threatens to invade her family's kitchen -- and then there's the odd new family pet! At the center of this chaos, time stands still as mother and son jump-start their relationship and try to confront reality together across the breakfast table. “I am beyond thrilled to be directing Pluto,” said Director of New Play Development Mark Routhier. “Our local cast is fantastic, and the design team is excited about bringing the mysterious world of this play to life.” This is not the first time Orlando Shakes will collaborate with playwright Steve Yockey. A workshop production of his play Heavier Than was presented as part of the annual new play reading festival, PlayFest, in April 2010. More recently, Feverish, a retelling of Phaedra and Hippolytus through a modern lens, was presented as a reading at November 2011’s PlayFest and also directed by Mark Routhier. “Steve is a prolific and widely produced playwright,” PERFORMANCE INFORMATION AND RELATED EVENTS THURSDAY TALK BACK Stay after the performance on Thursday, March 13 for an informal Q & A with the cast and members of the artistic team.
