New Ohio Theatre is set to present a remounting of George & Co.'s Holden, directed by Anisa George. The production will run January 5-14 with an opening scheduled for January 6.

Written by Anisa George in collaboration with the ensemble, Holden was originally developed at the 2015 Ice Factory Festival. Described as "tragicomic," the play follows a few obsessive super-fans of The Catcher in the Rye who have taken up residence in Salinger's private writing bunker. Unbeknownst to the reclusive author himself, their mission to get Salinger to publish once more spirals into a larger excavation of violence in America and the male imagination.

The show's performers and cocreators include Scott Sheppard, Jaime Maseda, Matteo Scammell, Bill George, and George Truman.

The production team features Nick Benacerraf (scenic design), Alex Bechtel (sound design), Seth Reiser (lighting design), Rebecca Kanach (costume design), Cem Ozdeniz (props design), and Madeline Charne (production stage manager and dramaturg).
