American HeroWritten by Bess Wohl
Directed by Cristina Alicea Produced by Vermont Stage October 12-30, 2016 At a toasted subs franchise in the local mall, three up-and-coming “sandwich artists”—a teenager, a single mom, and a downsized manager from corporate banking—are perfecting the mustard-to-cheese ratio according to the company manual. But when their shot at the American dream is interrupted by a series of strange events, they become unlikely allies in a post-recession world. American Hero is a supersized comedy about life, liberty, and the pursuit of sandwiches. Cast Ben Ash, Cael Barkman, Emily Benway, and Jon van Luling Creative Team Scenic Design: Jeff Modereger Lighting Design: Dylan Friedman Sound Design: Zach Williamson Costume Design: Kate Fulop Stage Manager: Kelsey Vivian Technical Director: Alan Hefferon Props Master: Sue Wade Images: Lindsay Raymondjack Photography |
