Em Grosland & James Scully Set for World Premiere of Nathaniel Sam Shapiro’s The Erlkings Off-Broadway

What happened before kids shot kids? Em Grosland and James Scully will star in the world premiere of Nathaniel Sam Shapiro’s The Erlkings off-Broadway. Directed by Saheem Ali, the production will play a limited engagement November 9 through December 13. Opening night is set for November 16 at Theatre Row’s Beckett Theatre.

The Erlkings recounts the days leading up to Columbine murders. Taken from public record and personal journals, Shapiro weaves together scenes from the lives of Eric Harris (Grosland) and Dylan Klebold (Scully) as they plan one of the most horrific killing sprees in US history.

The play will also star Blair Baker, Matthew Bretschneider, Jonathan Iglesias, Reynaldo Piniella and Kayla Wickes.

Scenic design will be by Doss Freel, with costumes by Lux Haac, lighting by Katy Atwell and original musical by Michael Thurber.
