Originally starring Uta Hagen, now, over 20 years later, her daughter Letty Ferrer shines in The Silver Fox, by Donna de Matteo, and directed by David M. Mead. A
lonely divorcee pines for the return of her ne'er do well ex-husband-a man whose company both her mother and her daughter seem to prefer to her own.

Inspired by the real-life events of one of the Beat Generation's few female poets, Beat Chick by Prudence Wright Holmes and Joanne Joseph, opens with the first reading of the groundbreaking and revolutionary Howl, and takes us on a wild ride through 1950's San Francisco. In no time at all, our heroine is hobnobbing, getting stoned (and in and out of bed) with the likes of Jack Kerouac, Allan Ginsberg, and Gregory Corso.

Decades after her acquittal, Lizzie Borden takes the podium at her local Historical Society to once and for all clear her name, or will she? In Lizzie Borden at Eight
O'Clock, Ellen Barry gives a tour de force performance as Lizzie Borden, as she relives the compelling events that lead to the headline murders of the century. The bloody
dress, the food poisoning, the broken hatchet in the basement, the mysterious bloodless-ness of the crime scenes--- all clues pointed towards Lizzie for the murders. But Lizzie has an alternate explanation, and, at long last, she's ready to tell the whole spine-tingling
story. Originally produced and developed and performed at the Historic North Hall in Huntington, MA, this is Lizzie Borden At Eight O'Clock's New York City debut.
