Ringgold Playhouse kicks off 2020 season
The Ringgold Playhouse will open its 2020 season on Thursday, Feb. 13, with a five-performance, oneweekend production of John Cariani’s quirky romantic comedy “Love/sick.”
Fresh off the heels of a successful and popular 2019 season, TRP officials say the 2020 lineup has a lot to offer, and will set a great tone with all the laughs that accompany “Love/sick.”
“It’s a crisply written show, and the cast has really done a wonderful job developing the story for our audiences, which we think will make a great date night for Valentine’s Day weekend,” said Director Renee Lierow.
The play, which is a collection of 10 short intertwined vignettes, will give audiences a look at the good, bad, heartwarming, and silly that happens in all relationships.
“I always love embarking on a new show because you get to build a new community of people and tell a new story,” Lierow said. “Love/ Sick is no exception. I have loved taking all the pieces of this puzzle that do not seem to fit together and making it a cohesive unit. Better than that, it’s been a chance to make new friends with people we would normally never cross paths with otherwise.”
The cast includes TRP regulars Ronald King, Joshua Adler, Janell Adler, Kylene Booher, Ed Huckabee, David Howard, Becky Byrns, Jo Schendel, and Adam Cook, as well as six actors making their debut with the company — Art Sanner, Joan Jones, Tiffany Boyd Oliver, Char Plunk, Emily Daily, and Samantha Martin.
