I AND THOU: A STAGED READING FROM MICHAEL WALLACH
Experience a staged reading of Michael Wallach's controversial new play, based on more than five years of Israeli-Palestinian dialogue Wallach hosted through Seeds of Peace. The story follows a Palestinian prisoner and his Israeli guard stuck in a jail cell with only each other for company, as they delve into their deepest feelings about religion, politics and philosophy to escape the loneliness of their imprisoned lives.

THE MANHATTAN MONOLOGUE SLAM

It's part Masterpiece Theater, part American Idol: Act One of the Slam features 8 pre-selected actors who perform 3-minute theatrical monologues (both dramatic and comedic), while Act Two features actors from the audience who have signed up on the spot to perform. A panel of industry big-wigs then rates the performances and offers their feedback. Whether you want to show off your monologue skills, or just want to see NYC's best up-and-coming talent in action, the Manhattan Monologue Slam will redefine the way you see theater.
