Dan Wackerman directs George Kelly’s comedy for the Peccadillo Theater Company.
The Peccadillo Theater Company's production of George Kelly’s The Show-Off, currently in performances at the Theatre at St. Clement's, is set for a September 28 opening night. Check out these new photos from the production, directed by Dan Wackerman (Ten Chimneys) and starring Annette O’Toole (Halt and Catch Fire).
The Show-Off revolves around a working-class Irish family in North Philadelphia in the mid-1920s. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher and their three adult children are thrown into a state of turmoil when Amy, their middle child, brings home a preposterous suitor named Aubrey Piper. A compulsive liar with delusions of grandeur, Aubrey meets his match in Mrs. Fisher, the crusty, no-nonsense matriarch of the family. A battle of wits ensues and the outcome is a vindication (of sorts!) of the American con man.
Joining Annette O'Toole in the cast are Marvin Bell, Aaron Gaines, Ian Gould, Elise Hudson, Emma Orelove, Douglas Rees, Buzz Roddy, and Tirosh Schneider. The creative team features scenic and lighting design by Harry Feiner, costume design by Barbara A. Bell, sound design by Quentin Chiappetta, wig design by Paul Huntley, and properties by Jessica C. Ayala.
