Scott Button
Produced by Staircase Theatre, The Hunger Room is a new play full of twists and turns, a timely look at teenage pain. Directed by Stephen Heatley, The Hunger Room stars Evan Frayne, Raylene Harewood, Camille Legg, Joey Lespérance and Matt Reznek. The Hunger Room will feature Production Design by Daniel VanHeyst and Sound Design by Stephen Bulat. The show plays at the PAL Studio Theatre May 25-June 10, 2017.
The Hunger Room is a dark thriller that explores loneliness, disconnection and violence. A crisis takes over a suburban high school when a mysterious stalker begins delivering notes written in blood to targeted female students. Soon enough, everybody’s a suspect, including the teachers. But what’s really happening underneath the suspicion? And what is “the hunger room” that the notes keep mentioning? As the situation escalates, students and faculty alike become more desperate to expose each other’s darkest secrets – and to protect their own.
