The Man

Recess
Presented by Keep it Movin' Productions
Written & Performed by Una Aya Osato
Recess is a one woman show that takes audiences on a nuanced, politicized, imaginative field trip into the hearts and minds of 7-year-olds navigating their way through life and public school in NYC. Performed by Una Aya Osato, Recessis an impassioned response to her experiences attending, witnessing, and teaching in NYC schools. Get inspired by a piece that has been described as "a tour-de-force" by The Montreal Gazzette, "a winning performance" byNYtheatre.com, and given five out of five stars by Toronto's Eyeweekly. Mon 2/29 @ 7pm The Kraine Theater (85 East 4th Street) $18
Jack of Hearts, Master of None
A Song Cycle by De Gre? & Anderson
Hit me. I need love. Hit me. Give me a break. Hit me. I'll play this game until I've taken all that I can take. From the award winning composer/lyricist team behind Fatty Fatty No Friends (Time Out New York Critic's Pick) and Whiskey Pants the Mayor of Williamsburg (Audience Favorite FRIGID New York) comes a hilariously twisted and disturbing song cycle about a modern Casanova, his many conquests and the seven women who shaped his life. An all-too-familiar tale of a Jack of all hearts and master of none. Mon 2/29 @ 9pm UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place) $18
