The celebration took place at The Maritime Hotel in NYC. This season's Off-Broadway line-up includes the New York Premiere of
Howard Barker's The Castle, starring
Jan Maxwell, along with
Jennifer Van Dyck and
Quentin Maré, directed by PTP's Co-Artistic Director
Richard Romagnoli; and a revival of last season's acclaimed production of
Caryl Churchill's Serious Money, directed by PTP's Co-Artistic Director
Cheryl Faraone.
PTP/NYC, in association with Middlebury College, proudly presents its 27th repertory season, its 7th consecutive in New York, running from now through August 4, 2013 in a limited Off-Broadway engagement at The Atlantic Stage 2, located at 330 West 16th Street between 8th & 9th Avenues in New York City.
Howard Barker's THE CASTLE is an epic work, blasting apart - with humor and violence - the boundaries of desire, pain, and sexuality. After an absence of 7 years, a group of Crusaders returns 'home' to find authority, religion, and human relations all upended and a new society established by the women who have been left behind. The battle lines are drawn immediately.

In a scathing satire set in the trading pits and boardrooms of London's financial district, acclaim
Ed English playwright
Caryl Churchill tackles the insider trading, corporate raiding and leveraged buyouts of the late '80s in SERIOUS MONEY. Churchill's acidly funny, cocaine-fueled ride examines the abuses of power, greed and sexual politics that continue to resonate with the current global financial crisis.

Ian Dury,
Micky Gallagher and
Chas Jankel.
