Mary-Arrchie recruits cast of 49 for Cromer's Cherrywood

Mary-Arrchie's cast list for its upcoming Cherrywood reads like an off-Loop phone book: Nearly 50 actors will traipse across Angel Island's tiny stage for the David Cromer–helmed production. (I'm pretty sure that's more people on stage than seats in the house.) Created in 2004 by Austin's Rude Mechanicals troupe, Cherrywood's script consists of "a simple list of lines, a play without characters, allowing the actors to assemble their roles from the lines they chose to speak"; the original Rude Mechs production used a cast of ten to depict the play's party gone awry with werewolves, karaoke and philosophy games. Mary-Arrchie's cast includes (deep breath): Adam Hinkle, Aileen May, Alexander Ring, Alice Wedoff, Allison Cain, Andre LaSalle, Andrew Hanback, Anthony Demarco, Brian Hinkle, Briana De Giulio, Bries Vannon, Candice Gregg, Carlo Lorenzo Garcia, Caroline Neff, Chris Ward Blumer, Colleen Miller, Craig Cunningham, D'wayne Taylor, Dereck Garner, Derek Brummet, Ebony Wimbs, Eileen Montelione, Elliot Ivins, Gavin Robinson, Geoff Button, Jennifer Santanello, Jeremy Noll, Joseph DeBettencourt, Kasia Januszewski, Katherine Schwartz, Keely Brennan, Kevin V. Smith, Leslie Frame, Lindsey Barlag, Lindsey Pearlman, Marika Engelhardt, Michael Dice, Michele Gorman, Molly Reynolds, Nick Mikula, Noah Simon, Ramon Madrid, Raymond Shoemaker, Richard Cotovsky, Rob Fenton, Rudy Galvan, Ryan Bourque, Ryan Martin and Shannon Clausen. Cherrywood runs June 24–August 8. Meanwhile, Cromer's outstanding revival of A Streetcar Named Desire continues through July 11 at Writers' Theatre.
