Racine Theatre Guild presents “Wait Until Dark”

Plunge into darkness and try not to scream during “Wait Until Dark” at the Racine Theatre Guild from Friday, February 22 through Sunday, March 10.

Susy Hendrix lives a simple life as a housewife, despite being blind. While away on business, her husband, Sam, unknowingly smuggles a peculiar doll filled with drugs into their home. One night, Susy becomes the key in a clever conman’s scheme to steal the doll. With the help of the young girl upstairs, Susy unravels his plan but quickly becomes the bait in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Get ready for an edge-of-the-seat thriller.

Written by Frederick Knott, “Wait Until Dark” is sponsored by Gary and Mary Sue Langendorf.  The thriller features Samantha Sustachek as Susy Hendrix, Kevin Sustachek as Sam Hendrix, Davidson Kane as Mike Talman, Anthony Lazalde as Sergeant Carlino, Matt Specht as Harry Roat, Jr., Grace Nelson as Gloria, and Joe Minneci and Zach Guerrero as Policemen, all under the direction of Michael Clickner.

In addition, RTG will be partnering with Racine Neighborhood Watch during the show’s run to offer crime prevention tips and raise awareness about keeping our community safe. “Wait Until Dark” was produced at RTG once before in September 1996.
