October 24, 2011; New York, NY: The First Annual Times Square International Theatre Festival (TSITF) is officially accepting submissions for the January 16-22, 2012 season. TSITF will kick off the New Year with stimulating National and International theatrical performances in the most exciting city in the World; New York City! The Time Square International Theater Festival is dedicated challenging the status quo, presenting work that exhibits artistic excellence and invention and innovation in all of it's aspects, and work that offers new ways of seeing and being, as both artists and as global citizens.

TSITF fosters reciprocal collaboration of art by encouraging participants to join forces and learn from each other.

GUTS
A multi-media fantasia

Performed by LIAT RON

Directed by SHOSHONA CURRIER

NOVEMBER 3 – 20, 2011 AT THE 9TH SPACE
Hellthy is a superwoman--smart, savvy, Israeli-American-New Yorker…she should have it all, why is it so hard?

When Hellthy moves back to Israel, after an exhausting breakup, she is the center of attention for her over-bearing parents. Hellthy battles with a dangerous obsession to fit into a size 0, at any cost. Her heart never seems to be in sync with her brain and her diary is her only real confidante.

How does she overcome it all? -- She has GUTS!

Written and performed by Liat Ron, GUTS is a multi-media fantasia that uses Middle Eastern dance and a shockingly honest comedic narrative to tell Hellthy's story. It’s the story of womanhood, testing ones internal strength, and making a way in two very different worlds.

GUTS plays the following schedule through Sunday, November 20:
Wednesdays at 8 p.m. | Thursdays at 8 p.m. | Fridays at 8 p.m. | Saturdays at 8 p.m. | Sundays at 5 p.m.

Tickets are $20 and are now available online at www.9thspace.org or by calling 866-811-4111. Tickets may also be purchased in-person at the Theatre Box Office, 30 minutes prior to the performance.

“I dunno who the fuck I am anymore. And then it gets worse … ‘cause sometimes I do know.”– Davis (in Costa Rehab)Written by RICH RUBIN

Directed by SHELLY FELDMAN

NOVEMBER 3 – 19, 2011THE WORKSHOP THEATER, 312 W 36th St, 4th Floor


Wheeler and Corso, two injured Iraq War veterans, recuperate in the rehab unit of a stateside Army hospital. Their friendship is based on a profane camaraderie and a shared, if unstated, experience of war. Both men, however, are bored and sliding towards burnout, worn down by the weight of their injuries and the impersonal face of the Army bureaucracy. The arrival of Davis, a third injured vet, serves to rejuvenate the other two soldiers, providing them with a fresh, if unconventional, mission to focus on. Their subversive quest on Davis’ behalf leads to a renewed sense of hope for all three of them.

Featuring Nicholas Urda* (Kidnapping Laura Linney) and MTWorks Company Members Peter Cappello*, Sarah Chaney*, Louise Flory, Rachel McPhee* (Vieux Carre, directed by Tony Award nominee Austin Pendleton) and Jacob Thornhill* (Mr. Roberts alongside Tony Award nominee Hunter Foster, directed by Tony Award nominee Robert Longbottom).

BOY GETS GIRL

Written by REBECCA GILMAN

"One of the finest, most disturbing American plays in years. (...) Gilman has a tragic vision of a society in which men and women cannot see each other as human beings. Yet her social comment grows organically out of credible, unexpected characters (...) Boy Gets Girl grasps at big ideas, but reaches the heart and the head with equal force." - Richard Zoglin, Time

"One of the most conspicuous members of a breed of rising dramatists who don't shy from the social problem play(...) The play is first-rate (…) [Gilman] is a connoisseur of self-consciousness (…) Ms. Gilman has it in her to create characters with the richness of ambiguity that lets actors bloom."– Ben Brantley, The New York Times

“It is an effective play (...) The characters are cannily drawn, the dialogue is witty, idiosyncratic, and incisive. There is genuine suspense and mounting terror."- John Simon, New York

"Gilman -- an acute and wiry writer -- puts her ideas into the structure rather than the speeches of her plays (...) But everyone performs unpredictably: one of the points of this penetrating drama is that the gap between motive and effect is enormous." - Susannah Clapp, The Observer

Directed by MICHAEL MENGER
