Page 73 Productions's world premiere of JUDY, written by Max Posner and directed by Ken Rus Schmoll (Grounded). Opens September 10.

It's the winter of 2040, and the world has changed - but maybe not by much. Timothy's wife has just left him, and he isn't taking it well. His sisters, Tara and Kris, are trying to help him cope while wrestling with their own lives and loves.

From an East Village diner to a Park Avenue penthouse -- four actors -- twenty-one characters -- love, sex, money, impossible relationships -- just another rainy day in New York City, played to the soundtrack of Bacharach and Sater.

"No troupe in New York these days rides the storytelling momentum of theater more resourcefully or enthusiastically than Bedlam." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times

Committed to the immediacy of the relationship between the actor and the audience, Bedlam Theatre creates theatre in a flexible, raw space and is interested in contemporary reappraisals of the classics, new writing and small-scale musical theatre. Their theatre always includes the audience. Storytelling is paramount. Bedlam believes that innovative use of space can collapse aesthetic distance and bring the audience into direct contact with the dangers and delicacies of life--inciting laughter and chaos, exciting thinking and recreating the thrill of lived experience.
