Death & Pretzels has announced the cast and design team for the Chicago premiere of Brendan Bourque-Sheil’s THE BOOK OF MAGGIE.

Directed by Madison Smith, the production features Tia Pinson as Maggie, Jake Baker as Judas Iscariot, Nick Strauss as Pontius Pilate, Taylor Toms as Joan, and Collin Quinn Rice as St. Simon Peter.

Stage Managed by Lili Bjorklund, and featuring designs by Matt Orenstein, Charles Blunt, and Bridget Vacha.

From the press release: “Judas Iscariot and Pontius Pilate spend their eternal time in hell, drinking, smoking and tending to potted plants. Their plans for the afterlife change when, from on high, they’re offered an opportunity for redemption by helping two mortal women – Maggie and Joan. With some reluctant help from Saint Peter, Judas and Pilate find helping these women might mean more than just saving themselves.”

THE BOOK OF MAGGIE runs May 17th – June 16th. For more information visit deathandpretzels.com.
