It takes place in an evangelical church of ungodly evil. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe demon these weirdos worship is unnamed, but from the moment dark events begin to unfold, their unholy lord\u2019s identity is readily apparent,\u201d Lingan said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPink\u201d is based on a text by Lingan, but the final product was a collaborative piece created by the Glacity Theatre Collective\u2019s Junk Box Theatre Initiative, which is focused on devising new works for the company. <\/p>\n<p>The cast for \u201cFix\u201d is Sean Koogan, Pasha Carter, Gina Gass, Kitty Hawwk and Mitchell Lengerich. Jeffrey Burden is the sole cast member for \u201cDolls.\u201d For \u201cPink,\u201d performers are Victoria Zajac, Lindsey Miller, Andres Medina, William Toth, John Toth and Danielle Hale. <\/p>\n<p>Kelly McBane designed the costumes, and Zajac designed the makeup for \u201cPink.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doors of the Handmade Toledo building will open 30 minutes prior to curtain. <\/p>\n<p>Due to vulgar language, violent content and partial nudity, audience members must be 18 and older, or an adult must accompany younger audience members. <\/p>\n<p>Tickets are $15 at the door. <\/p>\n<p>Those planning to attend the show Saturday, Oct. 24, should note that Adams Street will close at 3 p.m. for the Zombie Crawl, and entrance to the venue will require the purchase of a $5 wristband. Tickets must be purchased at the door that evening \u2014 show the wristband and receive $5 off the ticket price.<\/p>\n<p>Go to <a href=\"http:\/\/glacity.org\/\">http:\/\/glacity.org<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Glacity Theatre Collective will present three original short plays, \u201cNightmares Come in Threes,\u201d Friday and Saturday, Oct. 23-24 and 30-31.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50,5,7,51],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36597"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36597"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36597\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36601,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36597\/revisions\/36601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
