Les Innocents/The Innocents will feature Emilie Modaff, Vahishta Vafadari, Amanda Forman, Alec Phan, Andrew Lund, Matthew Lunt, Maggie Miller, Deanalís Resto, Ben Kaye, and Levi Shrader.

The production team includes Molly Donahue (dramaturg), Mary O’Rourke (choreographer), Chas Mathieu (environment design), Kate Hardiman (lighting design), Erika Clauson (costume design), Autumn McGarr (stage management), Daniella Wheelock (assistant director), and Berit Godo (assistant choreographer).

From the press release: “Inspired by a real concert that took place in the Paris Catacombs in 1897, the audience of Les Innocents/The Innocents prowls the catacombs like ghosts. Gui, a composer on a quest for love, emerges from the maze to encounter eccentric and musical ghosts who misdirect their pursuit and inspire chaos for the living and dead. Les Innocents/The Innocents presents realistic and grossly human queer characters in mythic circumstances to investigate our relationship to duty, death, and defeat.

Les Innocents/The Innocents will play October 7-November 4 at The Preston Bradley Center, Mason Hall, 941 W. Lawrence Ave. For more information, visit rediscovertheatre.com.
