Ariella Carmell's SIT FOR ME To Open At Theaterlab

Forced to confront his legacy, Richard, a sickly millionaire, decides he would like to make something more than money for once: he wants to make something beautiful. He calls up Cosmia, the elusive sex worker who ignited passion in his heart ten years ago. Still reeling from the pain of their separation, Cosmia resists the idea of serving as Richard's muse. Meanwhile, Richard's wife, Susan, grapples with her own relationship with her husband and his affairs. Sit for Me probes the ugliness in people obsessed with money, status, and art - and, in turn, makes art out of the aspects of ourselves that we might prefer to hide.

Sit For Me will be presented at Theaterlab 357 W 36th St. 4th floor, New York, NY 10018 on Friday, August 23rd at 7:30 pm, and August 24th at 5 pm and 7:30 pm.
