Description
The Mosaic Players' On the Verge Fall Tour Continues at the Antioch Township Center
Antioch, IL - On the Verge or The Geography of Yearning, a chimerical comedy by Eric Overmyer (playwright and television producer/writer) and produced by Mosaic Players, will continue its Fall Tour at the Antioch Township Center on September 25th, 26th, October 2nd, and 3rd at 2:00 pm.
On the Verge, directed by Rebecca Zellar, follows three Victorian era female explorers as they discover "Terra Incognita" and later realize they're actually traveling forward through time into the 21st century. The independent and intrepid explorers encounter eight diverse beings throughout their journeys, all played by the same actor.
There are two casts available for the Antioch Township Center performances. Meghan Lane and Susie Perkowitz play Mary, a woman who considers travel her unequivocal calling; Jennifer Drinka and Cristianna Formeller play Fanny, the most socially, politically, and morally conservative member of the group; Bonnie Hart plays Alex, who is enthralled by new discoveries; and Josh Formeller and Chris Riter play eight different characters ranging from Fanny's husband, Grover, to a Yeti in the Himalayas.
