Animus Theatre Company begins its 2019/2020 Season Selection Series with a free staged reading of a World Premiere by Bernardo Cubría.
Crabs in a Bucket concerns Amargo and Pootz are two bitter crabs living in a shucking bucket. They spend their days gossiping about the crabs that got out, the ones who couldn't take it, and the losers who still live among them. When a new crab arrives filled with hope and change, they are faced with who they once were and their incessant dream of getting the shuck out.
Directed by Michelle Bossy (Associate Artistic Director, Primary Stages) and featuring Animus Company Members, Karen Sours Albisua (Showtime's "The Chi"), Adam Langdon (Curious Incident..., National Tour), Zachary Spicer (Ms. White Light) with guest artist Xóchitl Romero (Temple Grandin).
The reading will take place Monday, September 16 @ 7pm at the Cherry Lane Theatre, 38 Commerce Street, New York City. Post-Reading discussion to follow.
