A Small, Melodramatic Story
World Premiere

By Stephen Belber
Directed by Lucie Tiberghien
Featuring Carlo Alban, Isiah Whitlock Jr.


In Washington, D.C., a widow named O is trying to figure out whether life is worth re-engaging with. In her path are the 1968 riots, the first Gulf War, the Freedom of Information Act and herself. There's also an archivist named Keith, a cop named Perry and a kid named Cleo. And finally there's the question of just how much about anything do we really need to know.
Jack Goes Boating
World Premiere

By Bob Glaudini
Directed by Peter DuBois
Featuring Beth Cole, Philip Seymour Hoffman, John Ortiz, Daphne Rubin-Vega


Swimming lessons. Cooking classes. A random subway attack. Confessions of betrayal. Cocaine paranoia. A best friend's meltdown. How much is too much for a date with someone you've just met?
This Is Now!
Special Limited Engagement

Written and Performed by Eric Bogosian
A Collaboration with Elliott Sharp


Bogosian supplies the words and Sharp provides the sounds in an eighty minute excursion rant/soundscape on the theme of "now". Bogosian hits on smoking, sainthood and the CIA while Sharp trips out on guitar, sax, temple bells and cyber-sound.
Intríngulis
A Developmental Production

By Carlo Alban
Directed by David Anzuelo


Novelist, sniper, television personality, delinquent youth. Window washer, tourist, Beelzebub, idealist youth. Vigilante, rock star wannabe, minuteman, apolitial youth. Illegal immigrant. These are the people in your neighborhood.

Pretty Chin Up
A Developmental Production

By Andrea Ciannavei
Directed by Michele Chivu


What's the difference between an overweight marketing executive who sells women's lingerie and diet pills and the starving spokesmodel who peddles the goods for the camera? About 100 pounds.
