Production Notes
Oklahoma City premiere, October 14–November 5, 2016. Rated R for strong language (the earlier season announcement advertised PG-13). Four supporting performers each doubled as a hospital character and someone in Dana’s outside life; specific role names were not supplied. The press release reads “Tom Cowley Clark directs,” apparently an editorial error; Tom Cowley is used as the director, consistent with subsequent CST credits. Sunday matinee October 30. Ticket sponsors: Hank and Joanie Batty. Season sponsors: Ed and Janet Bucknell; Mel and Cindy Ables. Institutional support: Oklahoma Arts Council; National Endowment for the Arts. CST was an Allied Arts member agency.
