Matthew Dean Marsh (We’re Only Alive for a Short Time) will serve as music director and will also perform in the production.
In Tumacho, citizens of a frontier outpost are looking for someone to rescue them from the terrors of the local villain. Have they met their salvation—or an even bigger tyrant—when a fiend from the past comes to town?
Performances will begin February 17 prior to an official opening February 22.
Tumacho will feature set design by David Zinn (The Humans), costume design by Anita Yavich (Soft Power) and Devario Simmons (Thoughts of a Colored Man), lighting design by Jennifer Schriever (What the Constitution Means to Me), and prop and puppet design by Raphael Mishler. Shelley Miles will be the production stage manager.
Clubbed Thumb made its Broadway debut last spring with Heidi Schreck’s What the Constitution Means to Me.
