A brief summary of Suffer the Brink of Us:
On a weekend of the biggest blizzard in years, 8 old college friends gather in a desolate log cabin in upstate New York for a weekend of careless debauchery and boozy catch ups. However, a well-kept secret and a hungry forest of supernaturally large deer-gonerogue, turn this innocuous gathering into an unraveling of horrors. Using bourgeois activities like a high stakes book game and a loaded dinner party, society takes a deep turn into its dark heart.

The reading will be directed by Kara-Lynn Vaeni ( Director's Lab at the Women's Project) and features the talent of Amanda Tudor (Off B'way: The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore, Roundabout), Elizabeth Audley (Our Town, Barrow Street Theater) Bettina Bilger (Pan Am, ABC), Wyatt Keuther (Thrill Me, York Theatre) Zack Robidas (24 Hour Plays, Old Vic New Voices ), Logan Tracey (Fallen Angel, Winner Outstanding Musical at the NY Int'l Fringe Festival 2006), Charles Andrew Callaghan (Alkestis, SoHo Playhouse) , Ari Rossen (The Maiden's Prayer, NYIT Award
Nomination Best Actor).

On the Square Productions believes that vibrant and dynamic theatre can be experienced wherever there are fresh ideas and a desire to bring them to life. Our primary mission is to seek out and produce original work by contemporary playwrights with meaningful stories to tell. Always encouraging engagement with the written word, we strive to bring theatre to new audiences through developmental play readings, educational outreach, and site-specific productions through out Astoria and Manhattan.
