New York City theater group Another Urban Riff, founded by Artistic Director Steven Tanenbaum (writer/director of upcoming film Coming Soon), will premiere Mixed Tape 2007 in April. The show features four new one-act plays written by four writers and the help of a boombox. According to press notes, "The one-act plays, or 'Tracks' as they are called, are distinct to each writer's point of view, yet they all adhere to an ensemble aesthetic. The format is unique: writer #2 can only read the script for Track 1, writer #3 reads Track 2, and writer #4 reads Track 3. Each writer has the task of carrying over one character from the previous play. All the plays flow in and out of what precedes and follows, creating a unified experience not unlike a really good mixed tape."
The "tracklisting" for Mixed Tape 2007 is as follows:Track 1, written by Lauren Hatcher with direction by Robyn Nielsen, features Kristen Abate, Lawrence Jansen, Jessica Schupack, Julia Wiedeman and Jarrod Zayas.Track 2 written by Lisa Atenasio with direction by Eden Foster, features Kerryn Feehan, Lawrence Jansen, Amber Petty, and Tricia McAlpin.Track 3 written by Eden Foster with direction by Marge Lewit, features Lisa Atenasio, Chris Cipriano, Kerryn Feehan, MatthewVideos
