Salt Lake Acting Company, Utah’s Premier Professional Contemporary Theatre, announces the cast and creative team for the upcoming Regional Premiere of Whitelisted by Chisa Hutchinson, the first production of our 53rd Season of Shows. A haunting comedy first workshopped in SLAC’s 22/23 New Play Sounding Series. Rebecca Burgess is living her life when weird, supernatural sh*t starts happening to her for no reason she can think of. Of course, the fact that she can't think of the reason is probably why it's happening. This heart-pounding, suspenseful, highly theatrical piece is a cautionary tale that considers the possibility of cosmic justice in the absence of social justice.
Our talented cast includes exciting familiar faces alongside several SLAC debuts. The show will run in our upstairs theatre from October 2nd to October 27th, 2024. Tickets are available here. Making up the cast, SLAC alumnus include Dee-Dee Darby-Duffin* (Passing Strange, Mercury, The Overwhelming) as Yvette, and Eliyah Ghaeini (A Year with Frog and Toad) as Ryan. Enjoying their Salt Lake Acting Company debuts will be Collette Astle* as Rebecca, Jacob Barnes as Diego, and Betty Kalunga as Maya.
