The world premiere of “REDD,” a new play by Kat Agudo, will continue at Key City Public Theatre through April 30.
“REDD” is a magical retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, inspired and set within Spanish-colonial Philippines.
The plot: Rue is a mysterious orphan, a trapped princess betrothed to a Spanish viceroyal huntsman in the sheltered town of Intramuros, Manila. Accompanied by a spirit guide, Rin, they journey to Grandmother’s house. What follows is a fantastical battle fueled by the sacrifice of Rue’s ancestors and a chance for the liberation of her people.
“REDD” celebrates the Philippines’ rich culture, female empowerment, and the diverse community of Key City Public Theatre resident artists in the world premiere-commissioned play. It stars Brendan Chambers (“New Moon: A Dog’s Tale”) and Tomoki Sage and Consuelo Aduviso (“Around the World is Less than Eighty Days”). The show also features Gabs Nathanson as Rue Redd, and director Yari Cervas from MaArte Theatre Collective. Theater officials also note the project was selected for the National Endowment for the Arts Challenge America grant.
AfterWords talks featuring playwright Kat Agudo will follow performances on Thursday, April 13 (evening) and Sunday, April 16 (matinee).
Agudo earned a master’s degree in playwriting from The Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University. Awards include semi-finalist status for Theatre Mu Tang Clan, The Women’s Playwright Center at Speranza, Emerson Stage NewFest, and nomination for Best of the Net. Agudo first arrived in Port Townsend as a resident artist at Centrum for screenwriting and is proud to call Key City Public Theatre their creative home.
This show contains strong language, fantasy violence, and mature themes. It is not suitable for young children and viewer discretion is advised.
Performances run through Sunday, April 30 at the Key City Playhouse, 419 Washington St. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays through April 30, with matinees at 1:30 p.m. Fridays and Sundays.
