Martín Zimmerman's Seven Spots on the Sun to Open at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater

Rattlestick Playwrights Theater will present the New York premiere of Seven Spots on the Sun, written by Martín Zimmerman (On the Exhale) and directed by Weyni Mengesha. Performances will begin April 26 in advance of a May 10 opening, and will run through June 4.

In Seven Spots on the Sun, a Latin-American village has been without its doctor for 18 months. A recluse, he has refused to look at any patients since the army took his wife away during the country’s civil war. Yet, when a mysterious plague ravages the countryside, he discovers he has the miraculous power to heal with the touch of his hand.

The cast will feature Flora Diaz (Fox’s Gotham), Peter Jay Fernandez (All the Way), Flor De Liz Perez (CBS’s The Good Wife), Claudia Acosta (The Architecture of Becoming), Sean Carvajal (Tell Hector I Miss Him), Rey Lucas (Exit Strategy), Cesar Rosado (Dolphins and Sharks), and Socorro Santiago (Kingdom Come).

The creative team includes Arnulfo Maldonado (scenic design), Amith Chandrashaker (lighting design), Tei Blow (sound design), and Fabian Aguilar (costume design).
