World-Premiere Of John Prescod's PRE-DISPOSAL Begining 7/8 At The EBE Ensemble

EBE Ensemble (Eric Alba, Artistic Director; Joe Mullen & Montgomery Sutton, Co-Executive Directors) will present the World Premiere of John Prescod’s Pre-Disposal directed by Joshua Luria.  Performances will begin on Wednesday, July 8 and will open Monday, July 13 through July 25 at New York’s Access Theater (380 Broadway at White Street). Tickets are $18 and can be purchased at www.SmartTix.com or call 212-868-4444.

Pre-Disposal takes place on a hot Bed-Stuy morning; three young men meet all looking for something different. One is looking for someone to confide in, another is looking for a story to tell and the third is looking for an opportunity. Pre-Disposal is a savage comedy about race, terror and the role of art in an unforgiving part of the world. 

Cast includes:  DK Bowser (“Lipstick Jungle”, Film:Slow Jam King), Deborah Green (Miss White House, Film: Infamous) , Paul Pryce (Film: The End Is The Beginning, Romeo & Juliet Theatreworks National Tour) , and Matt Schock (Atlantic Theater Company's "What's That Smell: The Music of Jacob Sterling").
