Marco Ramirez’s Macon City: A Comic Book Play
gets its DEBUT at the Naked Stage!
Award-winning company presents visionary play by popular local playwright.
The Naked Stage is proud to begin its 2009-2010 season with Macon City: A Comic Book Play by Marco Ramirez. The show will run November 13 through November 29, 2009 at the Barry University Pelican Theater in Miami, Florida.
Following the enormous success of the third annual 24-Hour Theatre Project, The Naked Stage is delighted to present this imaginative, new play from the 2 time Heideman award winning author of Broadsword and Mr. Beast.
Set in a fictitious American Metropolis, Macon City chronicles the lives of several local denizens as they struggle to survive in a decaying city, long-since abandoned by the Defenders, a super-powered team of crime-fighters.
Subtitled A Comic Book Play, Macon City is perfectly suited for the intimate setting of the Pelican Theatre; a 43 seat proscenium theatre located on the campus of Barry University. The Naked Stage takes on the unique challenge of bringing a graphic novel to life. With Ramirez’ distinctive, urban-inspired poetry and Naked Stage’s critically lauded design team, Macon City promises to be one of the most exciting productions of the season.
Macon City: A Comic Book Play stars David Hempill, Hugh Murphy, Scott Genn, Alyn Darnay & Jasmine Fluker and is directed by John Manzelli. Set, sound & lights are designed by the Naked Stage, with costumes by Leslye Menshouse. All press art by Katherine Amadeo. Layouts are by Antonio & Katherine Amadeo.
