No one is safe -not even Santa Fe Playhouse - from the gloves off roast that will be this year’s The Melodrama, showcasing four short plays by New Mexican playwrights, inspired by an ensemble of six actors and the theme of 'fire' to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the burning of Zozobra. The plays are Fireblown Beasts by Tatiana Isabel Gil, Welcome to Cowhoof by Leonard Madrid, Turquoise Lotus by Maggie Fine, and The Last Days of Old Man Gloom by Dillon Christopher Chitto, with interstitials written by Kevin Fairchild. The six actors are Mo Beatty, Cee Fields-Haley, Montana Miller, Melanie O’Neill, Danielle Louise Reddick, and Ariana Roybal. With Evan Aguilar on the piano. Features scenic design by James W. Johnson, costume design by Lila Martinez, lighting design by Zac Goin, props design by Emily Rankin, and the music director is Evan Aguilar. Rounding out the team is stage manager Cynthia Thompson and assistant stage manager, Emma Ziegler.
