JULIE LOCKHART IN MODEL BEHAVIOR AT THE REDCAT
    Julie Lockhart (C96) will be performing in Theatre Movement Bazaar's MODEL BEHAVIOR for the REDCAT New Original Works (NOW) Festival  July 17-19.  MODEL BEHAVIOR takes the Jekyll and Hyde story into a collage of movement, theater and song that careens through cultural obsessions with mesmerism, CSI, the modeling industry and more to tell the tale of
a group of men who encounter a brutal murder and their own dual nature.
       MODEL BEHAVIOR will be performed with two other works on the opening weekend of the festival: Thursday July 17-Saturday July 19 at 8:30pm. Tickets range from $14-18 and can be purchased at 213-237-2800 or www.redcat.org.
