JACK Presents Brooklyn Gypsies ONE CATCHES LIGHT FESTIVAL
Brooklyn Gypsies presents the second-annual One Catches Light Festival, celebrating new solo work of five writers associated with the company, with stand-up comic Olander 'Big O' Wilson presiding over the evenings. Icarus in the L.E.S. is a kaleidoscopic performance-poem by Nic Adams, with the wax-winged hero chasing his destiny and scouting out the divide between artistic achievement and personal happiness. I Have No Room for the Broken, written by Angela Abreu, is a play about a cascade towards romantic ruin.
POINT OF ORIGIN to Run 4/27-5/1 at The Brick
Point of Origin is an immersive theatre experience. It starts with a leg of lamb being placed in an oven on stage. As the aromas fill the theatre, the cast figures out how to tell three stories - about a shape-shifting hag witch from Finland; a slimy con artist from Greece; and their descendants, an Australian woman and an American woman who find themselves in New York. Sometimes these stories are told with words, other times through dance, but most deliciously they are told through food. The audience receives tastes of food throughout the performance and share in the leg of lamb at the end of the play.
The Producers Club Presents Short Plays Program This Weekend in PRESSURE-NOT ME!
Tall Tale Productions in association with The Producers Club presents 'Pressure-NOT ME!' an evening of five new short plays written by three of New York's hottest emerging writers and performed by New York's hippest new actors April 7-10, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 7:30 pm, and a matinee Saturday, April 9 at 2 p.m. at The Producers Club, Royal Theater, 358 W. 44th Street, New York, NY.
PLAYGROUND Set for The Brick, Now thru 8/30
Derek Spaldo presents Playground. This world premiere play explores the volatile relationship of four people in a working class neighborhood. Set in and around a bodega, the characters' seemingly mundane conversations about dead-end jobs, friendship, masculinity, pride, and above all, desire, unearth an unconscious legacy of violence.
