Photo Flash: First Look at Hallie Martensen and Mitchell Bloom in Villanova's EVERYMAN

Modern meets medieval in Villanova Theatre's production of Everyman, directed by Rev. David Cregan, OSA and on stage November 12 - 24, 2013. Cregan has chosen to emphasize the universality of the tale, bringing the production solidly into the here and now with contemporary language and modern design. BroadwayWorld has a first look below!

Villanova brings this new translation to life with the help of a talented team of designers, including two outstanding graduate students: Courtney Boches (Costume Design) and Seth Thomas Schmitt-Hall (Scenic Design). These student designs are supported by the work of Jerold Forsyth (Lighting Design), John Stovicek (Sound Design), and Brie Knight (Dramaturg).

Cregan directs a cast of dynamic and multi-faceted performers including Villanova scholars Hallie Martensen (Everyman), Mitchell Bloom (Death), Christine Petrini (Good-Deeds) and Peter Andrew Danzig (Cousin); graduate students Matt Basden (Five Wits), John Baxter (Confession), Victoria Rose Bonito (Goods), Lauren Fanslau (Kindred), John Hala (Five Wits), Jill Jacobs (Knowledge), Christen Mandracchia (Five Wits), Mikal Odom (Five Wits), Julia Salvo (Five Wits), Seth Thomas Schmitt-Hall (Fellowship), Emily Poworoznek (Beauty), and Meghan Winch (Angel), and undergraduate students Austin Haitos (Strength) and Brendan Farrell (Discretion).
