stirring
March 15-25
at The Interart Annex
Back by popular demand, stirring takes us inside the lives of seven lonely hipsters as they navigate their desperate fantasies and grim realities all from the safety of their laptops.
"Riveting...provocative, hip, and beautifully put together." - Three Weeks
"Highly stylish...perceptive about a generation." - The Guardian
The Minstrel Show
June dates TBA
at The Interart Annex
A controversial new take on our ever popular annual ten-minute play festival. It's "us vs. them" as writers confront stereotypes with ruthless candor and wit. Our modern interpretation of this old but not entirely forgotten form.
With new plays by Michael John Garces, Tommy Smith, Sharyn Rothstein, and Sibyl Kempson.
LA FEMME EST MORTE or Why I Should Not F!%# My Son
July dates TBA in New York
August dates TBA at the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival
Take a ringside seat at this Phaedra adaptation. Sexual tension runs high, there's a boxing match to the death, the paparazzi are swarming, nobody is telling the truth. Using found text, live music, frenetic dance, and many wigs, experimental theater company Shalimar Productions entrenches themselves in America's celebrity obsession in the midst of a war. Flash photography is encouraged.
ALIENS
by Saviana Stanescu
Fall 2007/Winter 2008 dates TBA
ALIENS is a play about cross-cultural love and greencard-marriage that explores the immigrant experience in New York. Does a marriage with an American citizen solve every problem? Is a greencard a strong enough reason for a marriage? Based on true stories of immigration explored collaboratively by Shalimar Productions and fictionalized by a playwright who is trying to understand her own story, ALIENS is a story about the American dream and its everyday nightmare.
