“
tugs at the heartstrings and connects with the soul…”(New City Stage, Chicago)
The first mainstage production of Incognita's third season features an early work by one of the nation's hottest playwrights, Macarthur Genius Award winner Sarah Ruhl (Eurydice, The Clean House).
LATE: A COWBOY SONG features the Ithaca debut of director Victoria Apodaca, who will also serve as Associate Artistic Director of Theatre Incognita for the 2011-12 season. Abby J. Smith, Brian Kolczynski and Siobhan Whalen comprise the cast of this whimsical romantic triangle.
Newlyweds Mary and Crick have been in love since grade school. But Mary finds herself increasingly drawn to an enigmatic Pittsburgh “cowboy” named Red, who is unlike any woman Mary has ever known. Complications ensue as Mary becomes pregnant and the two parents begin to fight over not only their baby's future and name, but its very gender.
Famed drama critic Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune says “If you are drawn to Ruhl, there is a rare moment here in this little room to better understand her genesis, the insecurities that spawned her astonishing inherent theatricality.”
“Sarah Ruhl, especially this play, has been on my short list for years,” says Ross Haarstad, Incognita's Artistic Director. “When I asked Vicky Apodaca to come on board, this was the first play she suggested, and I jumped at it.”
“…has huge things to say about relationships, love, the elusiveness of happiness and, to a more subtle degree, the touchy subject of gender roles in society and the gendering of intersex babies. But it's told so simply and directly that it tugs at the heartstrings and connects with the soul…”
