New York Fringe To Feature LEMONADE: A PLAY OF WORLD DOMINATION, 8/13

Everything has a price tag, from the air people breathe to the chromosomes in their bodies. Now, as revolutionaries subvert the country with L.O.V.E. and a mysterious new competitor threatens profits, the world's second- and third-richest corporate tycoons (who are vicious business rivals and longtime spouses) are forced to think outside the box, or in this case the globe: they unite with a plan to commodify the sun. Unfortunately, their scheming has some unexpected consequences: espionage, mass assassination, economic Armageddon, and angry pussycats. As the planet struggles for survival, most people see disaster... but someone sees a world ripe for conquering.

The show opens at The Paradise Factory, and runs August 13-21.  For more information, visit www.lemonadetheplay.com.

LEMONADE: A PLAY OF WORLD DOMINATION was born from a struggle to understand the falling
tower of cards that is our current recession. Featuring a live foley artist and live film projection, it is an epic comedy built atop the absurd foundation of 21st-century economics, and filled with comic intrigue, manipulation and revolution. It is driven by secret machinations where language is suspect and truth is exposed only through action. No one is spared as the play contemplates corruption and power from all sides of the table.

Playwright, Jais Brohinsky has written and composed several musicals including THE ONCE AMERICAN DREAM, which was workshopped at the national literary conference PRESS, and Roosevelt Elementary (The Midnight Sun in Olympia, WA) which was published by Scene 4 Magazine. His play PAINTING TOMATOES was a finalist in NYC's Strawberry One-Act Festival and won Playwrights Theater's national one-act competition. His prose has been published by journals including Thieves Jargon, Word Riot, Wheelhouse Magazine, Admit 2, Inkwell, and others.

Director, David Denson has directed the world premieres of Kate Chell's THE RESURRECTIONIST; Jeff Hirsch's Destination and A Private Conversation; Foster Soloman's The Penny Executive: The Maggie L. Walker Story and OBIE award winner Harold Levitt's THE SONG OF THE SPEECHLESS WHORE. In Dallas, he directed SLAUGHTER CITY, THE UNDERPANTS, THE GOOD PERSON OF SETZUAN, HAMLET, and [sic] for Southern Methodist University and served as Artistic Associate and resident Dramaturg at Dallas Theater Center.
