—Roat

TORONTO, ON…Stage Centre Productions  is pleased to announce that it is presenting the suspense-filled Wait Until Dark. A masterfully constructed thriller that moves from one moment of suspense to another as it builds toward an electrifying, breath-stopping final scene. A tense thriller in which a blind girl, alone in a Greenwich Village apartment, is stalked by vicious drug smugglers. A startling shocker even as the curtain falls.

Housewife Susy is alone in her apartment when she is confronted by a trio of thugs looking for their stash of heroin hidden in a doll, which Susy’s husband Sam has unwittingly transported from Canada back to New York City.  In a heart-stopping finale played out in complete darkness, the young blind woman turns the tables on her would be attackers.

Joining director/designer L. Garth Allen are repertory company members Jeff Angus as Policeman #1, Michael Chodos as Sgt. Carlino, Paul Love as Mike Talman, Jeff Angus as Policeman #2, Sylvester Pilgrim as Policeman #1, Lawrence Stevenson as Sam Hendrix, Sara Van Buskirk as Susy Hendrix and Will van der Zyl as Harry Roat Jr.

 

Stage Centre Productions, under the founding artistic leadership of L. Garth Allen, is a 60-person strong repertory company of Toronto area artists committed to presenting the classics from the world theatrical canon.
