First Rehearsal: IN THE NEXT ROOM

Take a look at the first rehearsal for Sarah Ruhl's Pulitzer Prize Finalist, IN THE NEXT ROOM OR THE VIBRATOR PLAY. This intimate and humorous story of self-discovery at the dawn of electricity features direction by Mechelle Moe and a knockout cast that includes Anish Jethmalani (Dr. Givings), Edgar Miguel Sanchez (Leo Irving), Dana Tretta (Annie), Melissa Canciller (Sabrina Daldry), Joel Ewing (Mr. Daldry), Krystel McNeil (Elizabeth) and Rochelle Therrien (Catherine Givings).

IN THE NEXT ROOM: Excerpt

After having two polar experiences to the same event, Mrs. Givings (Rochelle Therrien) and Mrs. Daldry (Melissa Canciller) ask Elizabeth (Krystel McNeil) if she, too, has such an experience and can help them make sense of it. Written by Sarah Ruhl and directed by Mechelle Moe, IN THE NEXT ROOM OR THE VIBRATOR PLAY is now playing at Stage 773 (1225 W Belmont) through December 13.
