Moving Parts Theater presents the world premiere of Rites of Privacy -- a new Off-Broadway play written and performed by David Rhodes -- with previews that began August 16, prior to its official press opening August 30 at Urban Stages (259 West 30th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues) in Manhattan. Charles Loffredo (The Godsend, world premieres of Broken Boughs and Lovers and Other Stranglers) directs.
"In the play, actor and author David Rhodes (
Lovers and Other Stranglers for Moving Parts Theater,
Peter Pan with
Cathy Rigby,
Columbus: The Musical; TV: 'Law & Order,' 'Playing for Keeps,' 'Loving') begins as himself, but quickly shifts gears -- and costumes -- to portray an array of characters aching to reveal their darkest secrets: a fading Southern pageant queen, an aging refugee from Nazi Germany, a fish-out-of-water Jew in New Hampshire, a suburban doctor in a predicament, and a Euro club-kid with an unsavory edge. Throughout, Rhodes alternates these characters with candid stories from his own experience, ultimately seeking a place of clarity and authenticity in his creative and personal life," state press notes.
Tickets are $35. For tickets, call 212-868-4444 or visit
