Synopsis: "Featuring traditional Shaker songs and a stunning mix of modern dance and actual Shaker movements, Angel Reapers captures the soul of the Shakers, an early American religious sect who 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. With text by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Alfred Uhry, this wildly theatrical collage about the glorious love of the divine and the overwhelming desire for human connection marks the return to Signature of Residency Five playwright and MacArthur 'Genius' Award winner Martha Clarke."
The creative team has also been announced and features music direction by Arthur Solari, scenic design by Marsha Ginsberg, costume design by Donna Zakowska, lighting design by Christopher Akerlind, and sound design by Samuel Crawford & Arthur Solari.
