The creative team includes ensemble member John Kelly, lighting designer with guest artists Arianna Soloway, assistant director; John Wilson, set designer; Uriel Gomez, costumer designer; Morgan Lake, sound designer and Leah Hummel, props designer.

Adamson’s adaptation of the 1877 Ibsen play tells the story of the return of a fugitive brother that puts the future of wealthy businessman Karsten Bernick in peril.

“Pillars of the Community” runs January 19th – March 3rd. For more information visit strawdog.org.
