(RICHARDSON-December 31, 2012) The Pegasus Theatre production of XSR:DIE! opens today and runs through January 20, 2013 at the Eisemann Center for Performing Arts, 2351 Performance Drive in Richardson. Tickets are on sale now through the Eisemann Center Ticket Office at 972-744-4650, or can be purchased online at eisemanncenter.com. New Year’s Eve tickets will include champagne and cake after the show.
Michael Serrecchia will direct with Sara Shelby Martin as The Vocalist, Lulu Ward as Margo Tyler, Scott Nixon as Eric Devin, Art Kedzierski as Douglas Mallory, Clay Wheeler as Clayton Farrell, Blake Hametner as Eddie, Alexandra Moore as Jean Hudson, Charissa Lee as Rosemary, Ben Schroth as Gus, Ben Bryant as Nigel Grouse, Chad Cline as Lt. Foster, and Kurt Kleinmann as Harry Hunsacker.
The well-known and much beloved series of “Living Black & White” shows has been designed and produced by Pegasus Theatre since 1986. It uses a technique developed at Pegasus Theatre that combines trade-secret makeup, special lighting, meticulous costuming and set creation, and stylized acting to create the illusion that the audience is watching not just a play, but a 1940s black-and-white movie brought to life on stage.
The Story – The play takes place backstage at a Broadway theatre. It’s opening night of a new play by famed playwright, Clayton Farrell. The tyrannical director, Douglas Mallory, wants to make a last-minute change to the climactic scene of the play. A shot rings out and someone falls dead. Fortunately for the killer, Harry Hunsacker (would-be actor turned would-be detective) has stumbled into the wrong theatre, and things just get a lot more complicated.
