gUnTOPIA at The Roustabouts Theatre Co

SAN DIEGO - EntSun -- The Roustabouts Theatre Co launches the new decade with Will Cooper's World Premiere, gUnTOPIA. Harry Nelson has a model family, his loving wife Mary and their children Bobby and June, all of them excellent shots. They faithfully attend the range every Sunday. It's a wonderful world they live in: Dogs, friendly neighbors, and neatly trimmed lawns. Safe inside their normal lives, all's as well as it can be. Or is it? A biting new satire not to be missed.

Rosina Reynolds directs Phil Johnson*, Lisel Gorell-Getz*, Walter Murray, Vanessa Milton, Ava Harris, Levi Laddon and Anna Younce is the stage manager. The design team includes Tony Cucuzzella (Set Design), Chloe Oliana M. Clark (Lighting Design), Pamela Stompoly-Ericson (Costume Design), Maeann Ross (Sound Designer), Alyssa Kane (Props) and Emily Sperling (Armorer).

Roustabouts founding member Phil Johnson, who plays Harry Nelson in the play, guarantees that gUnTOPIA will present audiences with a "challenging and provocative experience."  Many performances will be accompanied by talkbacks or panel discussions with the artists and with experts (academicians, politicians, activists, and community leaders) on the societal impact of gun violence in America. We are proud to announce that State Assemblyman, Todd Gloria and Chair Western Region Caucus of the DNC, Jess Durfee will speak with the audience on Sunday, March 15 at 4:15pm. To find the list of speakers and dates of talkbacks, go to the website theroustabouts.org/press.
