Reckless December 3, 2011

The Gallery Players presents Craig Lucas' Reckless. On Christmas Eve, Rachel is informed by her guilty husband that he has hired a hitman to kill her. Scrambling out the kitchen window into the snowy night, she embarks on a manic journey involving a deaf woman in a wheelchair (or is she?), numerous psychiatrists, a TV game show, and her own increasingly shaky sanity. Craig Lucas’ Reckless is a zany, comic, and ultimately poignant reflection on living in, and escaping from, the past. The New York Times calls Reckless, “A bittersweet Christmas fable for our time. Reckless has an emotional pull akin to that of a Crosby ballad born of the lonely World War II home front.”

Reckless stars Carey Van Driest* as Rachel, and features Jan-Peter Pedross* as Lloyd, Zac Hoogendyk* as Tom, Lauren Roth as Pooty, Lara Knox* as Trish, Allison Moody* as The Doctors and Jason Jacoby as Roy, Tim, and others. *Appearing courtesy Actor’s Equity Association. Reckless is directed by The Gallery Players’ Artistic Director, Heather Siobhan Curran and produced by the theatre’s Executive Director, Neal J. Freeman.

Reckless opens Saturday, December 3 at 8pm and runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2 and Sundays at 3pm through Sunday, December 18.
