By: The Roustabouts Theatre Co In 2017, they launch their first season with the World premiere of MARGIN OF ERROR by Will Cooper directed by Rosina Reynolds and featuring Ruff Yeager playing at the Lyceum Theatre, Horton Plaza from April 15 to May 6. Over the course of an evening, two couples confront each other and themselves, caught in that margin of error where reason goes blind and passions ignite. MARGIN OF ERROR, a drama full of suspense, twists and turns, revealing that when the heart and truth shine together, they can dispel the dark. A brilliant new battle of will and wit: They have love and deceit down to a science. Their next production is a comic retelling of Emily Bronte's most romantic English novel, now called WITHERING HEIGHTS by Omri Schein and Phil Johnson as they take on all fourteen roles in the play. It's an action packed tour de force of two character actors against the most famous romantic novel of all time. A love story with a very new twist. WITHERING HEIGHTS plays at the Diversionary Theatre from June 10 – July 9, 2017. In rep with WITHERING HEIGHTS, is the one-woman comedic show by Jane Wagner, THE SEARCH FOR SIGNS OF INTELLIGENT LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE featuring Monique Gaffney and directed by Rachel Hastings. Ms. Gaffney plays 12 unique characters including Trudy, a bag lady who advises extraterrestrials about life on earth. A one-woman tour-de-force that will launch the audience straight into the stratosphere. Runs June 22 – July 8, 2017 at the Diversionary Theatre. The Roustabout Theatre Company will be doing talkbacks, readings and backstage events this coming Spring 2017 go to their website www.TheRoustabouts.org for updates and information.
