“Identity, an inventive new play by Nicholas Linnehan, exemplifies the kind of keen theatrical adventure that can be had when a character drops pretense and starts to confide in the audience. It allows the audience to walk a mile in its leading character's shoes, and learn a bit of what it might be like to be a gay disabled Catholic.” - Martin Denton, nytheatre.com

Mike feels trapped and does not want to be boxed in so he entrusts a doctor to have his identity removed. Can this doctor’s procedure really help? An autobiographical tale of cerebral palsy, Catholicism, and homosexuality.

Featuring Timothy Connell, Nicholas Linnehan, Amy Lizka, and Matthew Tyler.

LOVEVILLE HIGH, A Musical Podcast Playing in January

12/6/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
LOVEVILLE HIGH: A PROM IN NINE MUSICAL PODCASTS will be launching on January 7, 2019 downloadable on iTunes, Spotify, and all music sharing sites. With book and lyrics by David Zellnik (Drama Desk nominated Yank!) and music by Eric Svejcar (Disney’s Peter Pan Jr. with Zellnik) LOVEVILLE HIGH takes place on prom night in the fictional town of Loveville, Ohio. Each ten-minute episode tells a love story – new love, old love, romantic love, friend love, gay and straight, cis and genderqueer; each is a self-contained musical while also connecting with the other episodes to form a glimpse into the biggest night in the lives of one high school class. After the launch of the first three episodes, subsequent chapters will be released on a twice-per-month schedule culminating in the “Loveville Prom” finale release party on April 8, 2019. https://www.lovevillehigh.com/

According to Zellnik and Svejcar, LOVEVILLE HIGH was created “because we wanted to celebrate the moment of risk, heartbreak, and joy when the wild strangeness of love comes into clearer view – usually when you’re young, always in the moments you least expect it. 

We wrote it as a podcast musical because we love to listen, really listen, to the small choices people make as they navigate this treacherous and often comic terrain. We wanted each episode to be self-contained – because each love story has its own universe – yet when consumed together would form an interconnected portrait of a school, because love is also about creating community. We especially wanted to show a group of kids whose inner lives are not always represented on stage, and a variety of kinds of love: romantic love, friend love, sibling love, even self love.”


The podcast stars Kathryn Allison (Disney’s Aladdin) as Madison, Harrison Chad (Caroline, or Change (OBC), Les Miserables, Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan) as Noah, Troy Iwata (Be More Chill) as Kyle, Gizel Jiménez (Drama Desk Nominated Outstanding Actress in a Musical for The Public’s Miss You Like Hell) as Wanda, Jay Armstrong Johnson (Phantom of the Opera, On The Town, Hands On A Hardbody, Catch Me If You Can, Hair) as Zeke, Hailey Kilgore (Once on This Island) as Jane, Mason Alexander Park (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, First National Broadway Tour) as Jendrix, Isaac Powell (Once on This Island) as Cory, Ryann Redmond (Escape to Margaritaville, If/Then, Bring It On) as Chass, Conor Ryan (Desperate Measures, New World Stages) as Johnny, and Ali Stroker (Oklahoma! @St Ann’s, Deaf West Theatre’s Spring Awakening) as Amanda.

Medusa Volution Coming to Brooklyn

11/16/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
SAMIEVA THEATER is pleased to present Medusa Volution, written by Sophie Amieva and Suzanne Bagert, directed by Sophie Amieva. Medusa Volution will play a three-week limited engagement from February 8th through February 24th, 2019 at happylucky no.1 (734 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216).
“It all started with the story of Medusa: a young maiden is turned into a monster as punishment for being raped by Poseidon. The piece actively presents classic female archetypes and rejects them, ultimately allowing Medusa to transcend her condemnation, expressed through grotesque, storytelling and butoh.” - shares writer/director Sophie Amieva. “Reading Ovid’s version triggered images and emotions about her isolation and the slow loss of her humanity. The play explores the male and female duality by stripping us of our imposed social and societal roles in order to open new possibilities of partnership and interaction.”
​

Medusa Volution, inspired by Medusa’s story, is about women and the stories of their bodies and pleasures. From Salome to Eve, how do we define a woman’s ascent to pleasure and orgasm? To be feminist, do we need to redefine sexuality as a whole? Today, can we look Medusa in the eyes?


Casting and design team will be announced at a later date.
 
Medusa Volution  plays the following schedule through February 24th:

Thursdays through Saturdays at 8:00 P.M.
Sundays at 5:00 P.M.

Tickets are $20.00 ($15.00 Students/Artists/Seniors)and are currently available to purchase at www.artful.ly/sophie-amieva
 Running Time: 80 minutes with no intermission

Waiting for Godot in Yiddish at the Theater at the 14th Street Y

11/16/2018

Picture
New Yiddish Rep, in association with The Theater at the 14th Street Y, is pleased to present a fresh new production of Samuel Beckett’s masterpiece Waiting for Godot (Vartn Af Godot), translated by Shane Baker, and directed by The 14th Street Y’s artistic director of Arts & Culture, Ronit Muszkatblit. Waiting for Godot will perform in Yiddish with English super-titles for a five-week limited engagement from Sunday, December 24st, 2018 through Sunday, January 27th, 2019 at The Theater at the 14th Street Y (344 East 14th Street at 1st Avenue, New York, NY 10003). Official opening is Sunday, January 6th at 2:00 P.M..
 
"Beckett's play (which was originally produced in French) may finally have found its mother tongue." -The New Yorker
“We’ve tried to fashion a season that gives us and our audiences a way to resist the resurgence of the ‘big lie’ through the voices of playwrights like Beckett,” states Artistic Director David Mandelbaum. “For us this is a season of protest and resistance. It’s no longer just about Yiddish or Jewish. It’s about not standing by and mutely watching the transformation of our society into a replica of the tragic past.”

“Was I sleeping while the others suffered?” Waiting for Godot depicts the other, the refugee, the stranger looking for a safe haven. Estragon and Vladimir aren’t waiting for god, they’re waiting for humanity to evolve, to break down the walls that separate us and embrace them. In order to endure the absurdity and confusion they must occasionally laugh in the darkness and embrace each other. At its core, Yiddish,  the language of tears and laughter, is particularly suited to this tragi-comedy. It informs and illuminates Beckett’s seminal post-modern masterpiece.

Performed in Yiddish with English super-titles.

With David Mandelbaum as Estragon, Rafael Goldwaser as Vladimir, Gera Sandler as Pozzo, Richard Saudek as Lucky. Noam Sandler and Myron Tregubov alternate as the boy.
 
Featuring scenic design by George Xenos, lighting design by Reza Behjat, and supertitles by Eli Rosen.

New Yiddish Rep (NYR) is pleased to announce an exhilirating line-up for the 2018-2019 season: “A Season of Resistance”. The excitement begins in the Garment District at NYR’s new Kamer Theater with The Whore From Ohio (Di Zoyne Fun Ohayo) (Oct 6, 2018) and makes its way to the East Village at The Theater at the 14th Street Y with the much anticipated return of Waiting for Godot in Yiddish (Dec 21, 2018 - Jan 27, 2019) as part of The 14th Street Y’s Season of “War and Peace”.

“We’ve tried to fashion a season that gives us and our audiences a way to resist the resurgence of the “big lie” through the voices of playwrights like Ionesco, Odets, Levin and,  of course, Beckett,” states Artistic Director David Mandelbaum. “We’ve already seen rhinoceroses rampaging in Charlottesville. We’ve seen the rich get richer through the fiction that tax cuts benefitting the wealthy would somehow help the impoverished. We’ve seen the heart breaking plight of refugees being treated like criminals, children wrested from the arms of their parents, For us this is a season of protest and resistance. Its no longer just about Yiddish or Jewish. Its about not standing by and mutely watching the transformation of our society into a replica of the tragic past.”

CONSTELLATIONS, directed by Mark Shanahan. CONSTELLATIONS will play a limited engagement at Whippoorwill Hall Theatre (North Castle Libraray Kent Pl. Armonk, NY). Performances begin Friday, October 19 and continue through Saturday, November 3. Opening Night is Saturday, October 20 (8 p.m.).  

Celebrate 20 Years of Hudson Stage Company at their annual gala, Saturday Sept. 8th at a private home in Armonk with host, Tony-nominee TONY YAZBECK (On The Town, Chicago, and Finding Neverland) and Broadway Divas: Emmy-winner and Tony-nominee LIZ CALLAWAY (Miss Saigon, Cats, Baby), Tony-winner DEBBIE GRAVITTE (Jerome Robbins Broadway, Zorba, and They're Playing Our Song), Drama Desk-nominee CAPATHIA JENKINS (Newsies, The Civil War, Caroline, Or Change, Martin Short-Fame Becomes Me, Godspell), four time Tony-nominee and Obie Winner  JUDY KUHN (Fun Home, Les Miserables, She Loves Me).

Roland is a beekeeper. Marianne is a quantum physicist. What are their odds of falling in love? With infinite moments that can change the trajectory of a life, it’s anyone’s guess how cosmic collision is possible. Nick Payne’s Olivier and Drama League nominated hit is a charming, devastating and profound exploration of the universal truth of finding and losing love. A play that balances on the question of “what if” is, at its core, a poignant picture of “what is".
