Worcester Resident Lands Role In 'Big Love'

WORCESTER, MA—Curry College announced that Worcester resident Hayden Lombardozzi was cast in the Spring 2017 Main Stage production of “Big Love.”

Hayden, a rising senior Criminal Justice major and son of Sophia and Michael Lombardozzi, played the role of Constantine, said the release. Previously, he appeared in Curry Theatre productions of “Gorey Stories,” “The Laramie Project,” and “The Fifteen Minute Hamlet.” Lombardozzi also is the scenic director for the Curry Theatre department.

“Big Love,” directed by Elizabeth Singer Goldman, is playwright Charles Mee’s modern twist on one of the oldest surviving Greek plays, “The Suppliant Women," continues the announcement. This play followed 50 sisters who have fled from Greece to avoid a contract to marry their 50 cousins. Landing in Italy, the sisters meet a collection of interesting characters residing in a family’s lavish home. Three sisters take up the seemingly impossible task of convincing the Italian family to help halt the wedding and free the sisters from their contractual obligation. This darkly comedic take on a classical tragedy explores themes of gender, love, and obligation.
