Photo Flash: HUMAN ANIMALS' 'middlemen' Opening Night
By: Eddie Varley Oct. 14, 2009
On Saturday, October 10, HUMAN ANIMALS celebrated the opening of its inaugural production - the World Premiere of middlemen, an existential office comedy concerning adulthood, non-dairy creamer, and the collapse of the American workplace. Written by David Jenkins and directed by Josie Whittlesey, performances began at Walkerspace (46 Walker Street) on Friday, October 9th, 2009. The production is currently playing at Walkerspace through October 30.
Following the SOLD OUT opening night, the company toasted with family and friends to celebrate their new venture.
In middlemen, Michael and Stan are mid-level employees of a large, nameless corporation. As they continue work on an annual report-and try to justify their absent team of coworkers-they fight the nagging suspicion that they might be the last people remaining in the entire 60 story building. Added to this, it seems that they may have played a role in the financial annihilation Bolivia - and someone, somewhere would very much like to speak with them. They've worked hard. They've stayed in place. They've done exactly what's been asked of them. Now, they're bracing for the consequences.
The cast of middlemen includes Christopher Burns (Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf, Incident at Vichy) and Michael Patrick Crane (West Moon Street, From Doris to Darlene). The creative team is comprised of Alexis Distler (sets), Mavis Bruce (costumes), Seth Reiser (lights), and Peter McCain (sound). Ronald Turlington is Production Stage Manager.
middlemen will have the following performance schedule: Monday at 8pm; Thursday - Saturday at 8pm; Saturday and Sunday at 3pm.
Tickets are $18.00 and are available through Smarttix.com/212-868-4444. Walkerspace is located at 46 Walker Street (2 blocks below Canal Street between Broadway & Church Streets). www.middlementheplay.org
