In the Next Room (or the Vibrator Play) by Sarah Ruhl @ LVLT



In a seemingly perfect, well-to-do Victorian home, proper gentleman and scientist Dr. Givings has innocently invented an extraordinary new device for treating "hysteria" in women (and occasionally men): the vibrator. Adjacent to the doctor's laboratory, his young and energetic wife tries to tend to their newborn daughter—and wonders exactly what is going on in the next room. When a new "hysterical" patient and her husband bring a wet nurse and their own complicated relationship into the doctor's home, Dr. and Mrs. Givings must examine the nature of their own marriage, and what it truly means to love someone. **CAST** Dr. Givings............Chris Hermening Mrs. Givings..........Abby Dandy Mr. Daldry..............Walter Niejadlik Mrs. Daldry............Marni Montgomery-Blake Annie......................April Sauline Leo..........................Michael Blair Elizabeth................Shambrion Treadwell Directed by...................Gillen Brey **PERFORMANCE DATES** Friday, March 4th.............8:00PM (Opening Night) Saturday, March 5th........8:00PM Sunday, March 6th..........2:00PM Thursday, March 10th.....8:00PM Friday, March 11th...........8:00PM Saturday, March 12th......2:00PM AND 8:00PM Sunday, March 13th........2:00PM Thursday, March 17th.....8:00PM Friday, March 18th...........8:00PM Saturday, March 19th......8:00PM Sunday, March 20th........2:00PM (Closing Night) **TICKET INFORMATION** Tickets are twenty-four dollars for general admission and twenty-one dollars for students and seniors.
