Under the direction of Justin Waldman, the two-person cast features Wendie Malick ("Just Shoot Me") and Betty Gilpin (Good Boys and True). Performances continue through Aug. 2 on the Nikos Stage. "After 27 years on the same soap opera, Ada is starting to confuse her art and her life," according to press notes. "But after so many years of acting, her art is her life. Noah Haidle's poignant comedy brings us the hilarity of day-time drama alongside the harsher, but often equally funny, realities of life."
What is the Cause of Thunder? has set design by Alexander Dodge, costume design by Nikki Moody, lighting design by Jeff Croiter and sound design and original music by Fitz Patton.
