Dustbowl Drama Premieres
DECADE AT A GLANCE
Schedule varies
February 11 - March 7 at 7:30pm.
Stella Adler Studio
Inspired by the 1930’s
Dustbowl photographs of Walker Evans and
Dorothea Lange, the Harold Clurman Center
for New Works in Movement
and Dance Theatre (MAD) at Stella Adler Studio
will present the World
Premiere of DECADE AT A GLANCE. Written and
directed by Joan Evans,
this blend of theatrical documentary and folk
musical begins previews
February 11 at Stella Adler Studio. Opening
is set for February 12. In
March 2010, the production will travel to
New Orleans for its
Louisiana Premiere at Michalopoulos Studio,
produced by Artist Inc.
DECADE AT A GLANCE is an
epic story of a few families in the Dustbowl,
circa 1936, who are uprooted from their farmland
by drought, dust
storms and mortgage foreclosure. Making the
treacherous journey out
west as migrant workers, these ordinary hard
working people -- some
with hopes dashed, and dreams deferred or
dissolved -- ultimately join
the union marches. Unfolding like a series
of living photographs, the
story, told from the point of view of a Dustbowl
survivor, is related
through songs, movement, and interviews preserved
from the 1930’s.
Tickets are $18, available
at www.TheaterMania.com or

January 28 to February 14, 2010
Theater for the New City
Theater for the New City
will present a special production of "Duet
for Solo Voice" by David Scott Milton,
directed by Stanley Allan Sherman and acted
by Jonathan Slaff, from January 28 to February
14, 2010. The play is a dark comedy about
Leonard Pelican, a paranoid night clerk in
a seedy Times Square hotel, circa 1970, who
thinks that the Russians are coming...for
him! He is pursued throughout the play by
his paranoid fantasy: a KGB agent named Vassily
Ilianovich Chort. The play, then, is the eccentric
whirl of Leonard's entrapment of Chort while
the gravelly-voiced Bolshevik is zeroing in
for the kill. One actor plays both parts.
It's a play of lively absurdity, cruel comedy
and pathos, with hilarious chase scenes and
madcap physical comedy. The play's website
is www.duetforsolovoice.com.

FAT BITCH!
Thursdays at 7:00pm
February 11-25, 2010
Laurie Beechman Theater
Watch your skinny backs Sandra Bernhard,
Margaret Cho and John
Leguizamo --ERICA WATSON is coming to claim
her crown as Queen of the
theater/standup hybrid show with the New York
Premiere of FAT BITCH!
After workshops in NYC and Chicago, this new
solo show written and
performed by Watson will run February 11-
25, 2010 at The Laurie
Beechman Theater.
FAT BITCH! is a funny, provocative glimpse
at the American “fat and
sassy” black woman stereotype. Plus-sized
performer Erica Watson
explores society’s obsession with weight,
race and class and how black
women’s bodies have always been subjected
to both admiration and
ridicule. Drawing upon iconic images including
“Mammy” and “Hottentot
Venus,” Watson illustrates how media
images have impacted her
self-esteem as she touches on PETA’s
“Save the Whales” campaign aimed
at overweight women, the “war on obesity,”
and the controversy
surrounding President Obama’s nomination
of a plus-sized black woman
for Surgeon General.
Born and raised in Chicago, Erica Watson
is an actor, stand-up
comedian, and film/television director. Currently,
she can be seen in
the Oprah Winfrey/Lee Daniels film "Precious."
She has also starred in
the feature film "Dirty Laundry."
Watson is currently featured in two
Gracie Award-winning commercials for the Oxygen
Network called
"Tresstify" and "Kiss &
Tell,” as well as the March Madness
Comedy
special on MSG-TV. She has appeared on NBC's
"Last Comic Standing,"
and was a commentator and pundit for five
BET specials including “Top
12 BET Award Show Moments,” “Countdown
to 2009: BET Year in Review,”
“The Evolution of Mary J. Blige,”
and “The Evolution of Jay-Z”.
Additionally, Watson is a recurring politics
and pop culture panelist
on the BETJ talk show "My Two Cents,”
director of the reality TV
Series "My Model Looks Better Than Your
Model" on the BETJ Network and
a blogger for the Huffington Post.
Tickets are $15, plus $15 food/drink minimum,

GIRLS IN TROUBLE
Previews Begin February 12
February 12 - March 15.
Schedule varies.
The Flea
The Flea Theater presents
the World Premiere of GIRLS IN TROUBLE by
playwright provocateur Jonathan Reynolds.
Mr. Reynolds, whose
previous controversial play, Pulitzer Prize
finalist Stonewall
Jackson’s House, took on issues of racial
victimization, now turns his
attention to women's rights and abortion.
Performed by The Bats and
directed by Jim Simpson, previews begin February
12th with opening
night slated for February 28th.
GIRLS IN TROUBLE takes on
abortion in the sixties, when backrooms in
the wrong part of town offered hope or death,
as well as abortion in
the twenty first century. In 2010, has abortion
become merely another
form of birth control?

Fred Giacinto's
"Moments and Lemons"
Thursdays through Saturdays at 8:00 pm
Sundays at 3:00 pm.
February 18 to March 7, 2010.
Theater for the New City
Thom Fogarty will direct "Moments and
Lemons," the Theater for the New City
debut of playwright Fred Giacinto, which will
be presented February 18 to March 7 by Theater
for the New City, 155 First Avenue, NYC. The
play, about the mishaps of an unfortunate
man named Casper, is an "essential theater"
production for two character actors, one of
whom plays Casper at all the stages of his
life. The other plays his jail cellmate and
all the women in his life. Casper's narrative
spans eight decades. In his teenage years,
as a straight-A student, he yearns to become
a successful lawyer. Running afoul of the
law, his life path leads to prison. Rejoining
life as an ex-con, he must re-enter a society
that he is not quite accustomed to. His path
is tangled with misguided detours and poor
calls of judgment. The play is a drama of
error and recovery. Two-thirds of the play
is spoken directly to the audience in storytelling
fashion by the two actors, who are portraying
the constant turnover of characters with dizzying
velocity. Tony King plays Casper from his
teen years to his eighties. Jessica Day plays
everyone else: seven other characters. There
are no props, no set changes and no costume
changes. The production relies entirely on
the actors' tools: voice, body and imagination;
thus the term "essential theater,"
which has been applied to plays of the Brazilian
master clown/dramatist Denise Stoklos.

"[Radiohole] turns
out effervescent, anarchic work... cultivates
an eccentric acting style and makes familiar
text creepily bizarre." -Time Out
Known for its radical and
reckless theatricality, avant-garde New York
troupe Radiohole's newest work is a star-spangled
American meta-melodrama inspired by film director
Douglas Sirk's 1950s potboilers and Milton's
epic Paradise Lost. Our heroine is an all-
American "Eve" who must save her
home from an evil-doer while struggling to
find fulfillment in a lasting relationship
with a supposedly good man who looks like
god. Radiohole's newest synthesis of cultural
flotsam is sure to be bawdy, silly, possibly
transcendent, and a touch disturbed.

From February 3 to 21, 2010,
Kairos Italy Theater (KIT) and The Cell will
present the U.S. premiere of "Tosca e
le altre due" (Tosca and The Two Downstairs),
a satirical, behind-the-scenes sister-story
to Puccini’s "Tosca" as imagined
by one of the wittiest and most admired Italian
playwright and actresses, Franca Valeri. The
piece is directed by Laura Caparrotti, Artistic
Director of KIT, and its English translation
is by Natasha Lardera. The piece will be staged
at The Cell, a new multi-arts facility located
at 338 West 23rd Street (between 8th Ave.
and 9th Ave.) in Manhattan. The play will
be acted by Laura Caparrotti and Marta Mondelli
in Italian with English supertitles KIT-Kairos
Italy Theater is a rarity: a bilingual Italian-English
theater company that presents Italian theatrical
works of literary merit. It is named for Kairos,
the Greek god of the fleeting moment. The
prologue will be acted in voice over by Rocco
Sisto. Set design is by Lucretia Moroni. "Tosca"
by Puccini is based on a drama by Sardou.
In this well-known opera, Mario Cavarodossi,
a painter who has concealed a dangerous political
prisoner, is being protected by his lover,
a celebrated singer named Tosca. Cavarodossi
is tortured to reveal the whereabouts of the
prisoner to Scarpia, the chief of police,
who has promised to save the painter by a
mock execution if Tosca will give herself
to him. She ultimately agrees, but stabs Scarpia
at the last moment. The execution is, however,
a real one and in grief, Tosca leaps from
a battlement to her death. This year is the
110th anniversary of the opera, which debuted
on January 14, 1900. "Tosca e le altre
due" by Franca Valeri shares the 19th
century setting and events of the opera, but
refracts them through two memorable women
characters who share them from the outside.
The torture's screams and scuffles are overheard
from upstairs by the wife of the torturer
and the female doorkeeper of Palazzo Farnese
in Rome, where the interrogation is taking
place. The play is a wry and humorous character
study of these two women, outsiders, who are
accidentally close to the passions and politics
of the story.

Lardera.

The award-winning,

its sixth season, proud to present their first
production for the 2010 season in NYC. Pulitzer
Prize Winning playwright, Sam Shepard, Obie
Award Winning and Tony Award Nominee for his
classic American play, True West; centers
around the confrontation of two brothers.
There is a possibility that these two brothers
are different aspects of one personality,
or that they are not people but symbols of
the American West. True West was first performed
at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco, where
Shepard was the resident playwright. It had
its world premiere there on July 10, 1980.
The production later moved to Joseph Papp's
The Public Theater in New York City, where
it starred Tommy Lee Jones and Peter Boyle.

“Not only is the Alien
Comic, a.k.a. Tom Murrin, one of the most
visible and active performance artists on
the New York club scene today, but he has
also been seminal in bringing club-based performance
to life.”
---Catherine Bush, L.A. Weekly
“You can’t take
your eyes off his chaotic energy. The performances
are exhilarating and unsettling, like a walk
down Broadway. They’re about the risk
of running into drama – possibly coherent,
possibly fragmented – as soon as you
put your foot out the door.” ---Laurie
Stone, Vogue
A pioneer of performance
art, Tom Murrin (aka Alien Comic) takes us
on a talking tour of his life---and of his
travels through avant garde theatre in the
60s, 70s, and early 80s. He was a teenage
magician, a Jesuit schoolboy, a Los Angeles
trial lawyer, a La Mama playwright in the
60s, a traveling street performer peddling
his wares from Seattle to Calcutta, and finally
a leader in the performance scene that sprang
up in the East Village in the 1980s. He tells
wildly entertaining stories of his youth in
Los Angeles, where he wore Frank Sinatra’s
suit and asked Jane Russell to perform at
a pep rally.
Tickets: $20 and $15 (students/seniors).

a mythical Caribbean island, circa 1890, PECONG
tells a poignant tale of music, magic, laughter,
betrayal, sex, power and revenge!
Steve Carter’s Mediyah is a high priestess
of exceptional magical power. She can give,
and she can take away…well, that is
until she falls in love with Jason, reducing
her to a mere mortal, ultimately forcing her
to choose between love and revenge. Join the
TWAS Classical Actors of Color as they share
the stage with celebrated film, television
and stage actress Phyllis Yvonne Stickney
