similarities to a series of child murders.
The play stars Robert Covington as Katurian, Dennis Humphrey as Tupolski, Hannah Wassel as Ariel, and Alexander Wilder as Michal. The rest of
the ensemble cast includes Heidi Franke, Dawson Moore, and Regan Radotich.
The production is directed by Jay Stevens. There will be two showings at 7:00 p.m. on March 22 and 23 at the Valdez Civic Center.
