The Off-Broadway sensation Abandon All Hope, written by Peter Fenton and directed by Gorman Ruggiero, is reuniting its original Off-Broadway cast for a two-night engagement at West Art in Fenton's hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania on May 9 and 10, 2024, at 7pm. Abandon All Hope, produced by Fenton, Avery Kellington, and Suzanne Fisher, is a full-length dark comedy play starring Kellington, Yuliana Sleme, Jonathan P. Chen, and Michael De Los Angeles. When three college freshmen (a scrappy feminist (Sleme), a naïve evangelical (De Los Angeles), and a cocky analyst (Chen)) meet in Hell—which appears as a dorm room—they are forced to play a game with eternal stakes, which draws out each one's fatal flaws in their interactions with each other and a fun-loving demon (Kellington). The winner will go to Heaven at the cost of the others' eternal torture. Following the performance both nights will be a Question & Answer session with the creative team. Purchase tickets here!
