Photo Coverage: Inside Project Shaw's GETTING MARRIED Reading

Theatrical Group's Project Shaw, under the leadership of Artistic Director David Staller, continued its 12th Season with its 123rd concert presentation with Shaw's curious 1908 comedy Getting Married at Symphony Space'sLeonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre (2537 Broadway at 95th Street).

Directed by David Staller, Getting Married featured Robert Zukerman (Alderman Collins), Tony nominee Tony Sheldon (Bishop of Chelsea), Stephen Shore (Cecil Sykes), Kimberly Immanuel (Edith Bridgenorth), Bradford Cover (General Bridgenorth), Richard Gallagher (St. John Hotchkiss), Cynthia Darlow (Alice Bridgenorth), Rachel Botchan (Leo Bridgenorth), Kelly McAndrew (Lesbia Grantham), Darius de Haas (Reginald Bridgenorth), Thom Sesma (Rev. O.C. Soames), and Tony nominee Mary Beth Peil (Mrs. George Collins). Daphne Gaines is the Narrator.

It's a June wedding! Or is it? George Bernard Shaw's Getting Married is a provocative tale of creative couplings. The Bishop's daughter is getting married, but second thoughts are flying through the air. Lesbia is determined to live without a man, but wants to have a child. Hotchkiss has broken up a marriage but is it the husband or wife he's interested in? All converge to forge a partnership agreement between consenting adults to try and circumvent the traditional marriage contract. And then the mysterious Mrs. Collins arrives to throw everyone off balance.

Now celebrating its 12th year, Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw made history in
December 2009 as the first company ever to present performances of every one of Shaw's 65 plays (including full-length works, one-acts and sketches). They are now also including plays by writers who most inspired Shaw to begin his playwriting career, including work by Chekhov, Ibsen, Wilde, Barrie, and Harley Granville-Barker--while continuing its new play development and educational programs.
