Red House Arts Center, Inc. is thrilled to produce A Perfect Ganesh by Terrance McNally to open on January 12, 2012 in the Redhouse Theatre. The play first produced at Manhattan Theatre Club in 1993, was directed by John Tillinger and featured Zoe Caldwell and Frances Sternhagan. A Perfect Ganesh was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and is widely considered to be McNally’s best work. McNally is an American playwright who has received four Tony Awards, an Emmy, two Guggenheim Fellowships, a Rockefeller Grant, the Lucille Lortel Award, the Hull-Warriner Award, and a citation from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Once again Redhouse will combine local and out of town talent to mount this production. Tim Brown returns to Redhouse after his work on The Wiz! to design set, lights and projections. Lisa Loen, whose stunning work was featured in the Redhouse production of Conference of the Birds, will be designing the costumes. John Czajkowski is the Technical Director and Kyle Kashel is the Sound Designer. Stephen Svoboda is directing the production which features local Equity actors Susannah Berryman and Laura Austin and New York actors J.L. Reed and Adam Perabo who was last seen at Redhouse in Odysseus DOA. Binaifer Dabu joins the cast to provide musical accompaniment.

A Perfect Ganesh is a seductive comedy about two suburban matrons who travel to India and discover the marvelously unexpected. the story follows the adventures of Margaret and Katherine as the Hindu elephant god Ganesha leads them on an intoxicating and revealing pilgrimage in this astonishingly moving play.

“…clearly McNally’s most important work to date. It is absorbing, moving, funny and, most of all, life assertive, a play that defines its times while addressing its concerns.. – The New York Post
