Nicu's Spoon & NY Deaf Theatre Present 'Kosher Harry'

Nicu's Spoon and New York Deaf Theatre are pleased to announce the US premiere of Kosher Harry, directed by Stephanie Barton-Farcas and Aaron Kubey. Kosher Harry will play a three-week limited engagement at the Spoon Theater, (38 West 38th St., 5th Floor). Performances begin Wednesday, October 10 and continue Sunday, October 28. Opening Night is Friday, October 12 at 8PM.

In the nature of the 2006-2007 Nicu's Spoon season, highlighting disabilities and the various ways people are disabled, for this ferocious black comedy 8 artists will play 4 roles, in Nicu's Spoon 'co-playing' style.

The cast includes Andrew Hutcheson and Michael DiMartino (The Man); Wynne Anders and Shira Grabelsky (The Old Woman); Alvaro Sena and Darren Fudenske (The Cabbie); Sherrie Morgan and Jennifer Giroux (The Waitress).

"Set in a kosher deli, Kosher Harry is about the casual racism that plagues our lives. A sarcastic blonde Waitress, a vociferous Cabbie and a partially deaf old Woman sit in a deli, when a stranger arrives who acts as a truth serum on them – arousing gossip, taunting and willfully misunderstanding each other – revealing who they really are under their exterior mask.  This fast and furious absurdist comedy explores immigration and racism, sex and sexism, and how we present ourselves to others.  The play asks the question: If I take away the face you present to the world – are you then left disabled?" describe press notes.

The production features scenic and costume design by Nicu's Spoon & NY Deaf Theatre, and lighting design by Stephen Halouvas. Russell Waldman is the production manager and Carmen King is the ASL coach.  The ASL facilitator for rehearsals is Bram Weiser.

Kosher Harry plays the following regular schedule through Sunday, October 28: Wednesdays through Sundays at 8PM
