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.
