[NoHo Arts District, CA] – B. Light Productions and Jaramillo Productions announce casting for The Woolgatherer, heading to The Victory Theater August 15 through September 7.
About The Woolgatherer
In The Woolgatherer, Rose and Cliff search for connection in William Mastrosimone’s first play. Haunted by the past, one prone to daydreaming and fantasy, the other dodging discomfort left and right. Can two lonely hearts, damaged but hopeful, find love with each other? As their worlds collide, causing an eruption of emotions.
Come see what The New York Times described as a “mostly lyrical study of the crossfire between a truck driver and a salesgirl.”
William Mastrosimone’s The Woolgatherer premiered Off-Broadway in 1979, earning critical acclaim for its heartfelt and poetic storytelling. Mastrosimone, a Daytime Emmy Award winner, has created a body of work that explores trauma, connection, and the human condition.
