Martha Clarke and Alfred Uhry’s Angel Reapers Will Extend Off-Broadway

Martha Clarke and Alfred Uhry’s Angel Reapers will extend off-Broadway through March 20; it had previously been set to shutter on March 13. The production began previews on February 2 and will officially open on February 22 in The Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre at The Pershing Square Signature Center.

Directed and choreographed by Clarke, the show features traditional Shaker songs and a mix of modern dance and actual Shaker movements. Angel Reapers follows the Shakers, an early American religious sect, which sought to connect with God through ecstatic ritual and strict celibacy. While the congregants strive desperately to maintain divine purity, the needs of the flesh threaten to take hold.

The cast includes Sophie Bortolussi, Nicholas Bruder, Asli Bulbul, Lindsey Dietz Marchant, Ingrid Kapteyn, Rico Lebron, Gabrielle Malone, Sally Murphy, Matthew Oaks, Andrew Robinson and yon tande.
