Naughty Prep School Stories will be presented as part of the 10th New York International Fringe Festival- FringeNYC, running from August 12th through August 27th at
Classic Stage Company (136 East 13th St.).
"Inspired by those who make it in the publishing/art world solely on their connections,
Naughty Prep School Stories is a dark satire that raises to the nth degree the concept of the thinly veiled scandal-fueled expose as the new American art form," state notes on the show, which will be presented by Black Henna Productions.
"When elitist NYC prep-school cliche JD concocts a play exposing his dysfunctional family, sex, drugs and entitlement truly usurp talent. As
Al Pacino signs on for the role of JD's father, the big shot producer of his son's soon-to-be Broadway smash, suicide and incest - onstage and off - equal unending ticket sales and glorious infamy."
Jessica Day,
Meredith Forlenza, Brett
Holland,* Cesar Gracia, Darren Kendrick, Nick May,
Ryan Powers, Jade
Rothman, Marc Santa Maria and
Sheila Tapia* will be featured in the show.
The creative team will include costume designer Jackie Roc Murphy and set designer
Ian McDonald.
