ADP is known for our collaborative nature and approach to all of our productions and projects. To powerfully end our season, we will collaborate with the award-winning Tucson-based band Ryanhoodfeaturing the talents of singer-songwriters Ryan Green and Cameron Hood. “Cameron Hood’s rich and folky lead vocals, Ryan Green’s explosive guitar and mandolin riffs, and their airtight vocal harmonies prompted the Arizona Daily Star to call them, “a match made in radio heaven.””(ref. Ryanhood website). Their unique sound will be the driving force behind the portrayal of Dillinger’s life. Other local guest musicians will join Ryanhood throughout the production. ADP company dancer, Maxwell Foster, known for his flawless technique and intense acting capabilities, will dance the lead role of Dillinger. Co-artistic Director and dancer Claire Hancock will take on the supporting female role of Evelyn "Billie" Frechette, Dillinger’s lover. Costume designer Charlene Hock will fuse history with steam punk-inspired designs that could have a place on the runway. Lighting Designer Don Fox will transport the audience scene by scene. “Surrounding Dillinger” will utilize the incredible talent and artistry the Tucson Community has to offer by “surrounding” the audience with an innovative and moving experience in the historic Temple of Music and Art in downtown Tucson.
