URBAN SAMURAI SEASON 2012
SLASHER BY ALLISON MOORE DIRECTED BY BRIAN BALCOM FEBRUARY 3 - 18, 2012 Season 2012 will open with the regional premiere of this comedic homage to the B-movie horror genre by local playwright Allison Moore, a 2010 Ivey Award winner for her original play, My Antonia. Slasher was developed with the generous support of a Bush Artists Fellowship and a McKnight Advancement Grant from The Playwrights’ Center. The play premiered on March 7, 2009, at the Actors Theatre of Louisville Humana Festival of New American Plays. Brian Balcom will make his USP directorial debut with Slasher, which calls for a cast of five women and two men. Riddled with wit and twists, Slasher is a caustic satire following Sheena, an underprivileged student-waitress who negotiates her way into the lead role of a horror film. When her feminist, pill-popping mother threatens to shut the production down, Sheena must slice her way through a myriad of scary-movie clichés, a dysfunctional family, and the occasional pro-life demonstration. As tensions mount with the production nearing collapse, Sheena will do everything she can to make it out of this film alive.
