September 25 + 26 Soho Think Tank Presents Conni's Avant Garde Restaurant A Village Voice Choice & Time Out New York Favorite. The Restaurant is not a locale but a group of bold theatrical performers, devoted to the ongoing celebration of the work of Connie Convergence, the beloved icon of stage and screen. Hailed as "devilish dinner theatre" by the New York Daily News, these unique theatrical-cullinary events mix the ingredients of fine food and drink, brash Vegas-style song and dance spectacle and a loving send up of avant-garde pomposity. Includes a delicious seasonal late September menu and complimentary table wine.
October 1 - 18th Hip-Hop Theater Festival "The Hip-Hop Theater Festival is making an evident connection between the performers and the audience members, both of whose numbers are almost certain to grow. The atmosphere they have created is celebratory, a welcoming party for a language that hasn't often been heard in the theater their own." - Bruce Weber, The New York Times
October 27-November 21 New George's and Page 73 Productions CREATURE by Heidi Schreck After being pestered by devils for more than half a year, Margery Kempe* – new mother, mayor’s daughter, and proprietress of a highly profitable beer business – is liberated from her torment by a vision of Jesus Christ in purple robes. Visions are hard to come by, even in 1401. Should we trust the new Margery, with her fasting and her weeping and her chastity fixation, or burn her with the other heretics? Can a woman of insatiable appetites just up and audition for sainthood? Playwright and OBIE-winning actor Heidi Schreck conjures a collision of contemporary and medieval imaginations: a very funny, a little bit scary new play about faith and its messengers.
December 3-29th Working Man's Clothes Productions SHE LIKE GIRLS by Chisa Hutchinson Inspired by the brutal murder of a fifteen-year-old lesbian in Newark, New Jersey, SHE LIKE GIRLS tells the story of two inner-city girls who gradually fall in love with each other in a dangerously homophobic climate. SHE LIKES GIRLS recently received a workshop production as a part of the Lark's Playwright's Week, and landed Chisa a nomination for the prestigious Wasserstein Prize. It received a stage reading by Working Man's Clothes in May 2008, and a workshop production at the Ohio Theater in November 2008.

Inspired by Murakami’s visionary style, writer/director Stephen Earnhart merges live performance, live music, dance/movement and Bunraku puppetry with on-stage projections of video, anime, and holographic technology to create a “theatre of dreams.” This cross-cultural play incorporates both English and Japanese languages and represents an international collaboration between Western and Asian artists and designers.
February 8th-27th Fetes de la Nuit by Chuck Mee/ Directed by Kim Weild A deliciously naughty valentine to Paris,Fetes de la Nuit celebrates life, love and all things Parisian, weaving together a pulsating collage of dance, live music, tango, language, video and drama.

RESCUE ME

(A post-modern classic with snacks)

By Michi Barall

Directed by Loy Arcenas

A postmodern dance-theatre adaptation of Euripides’ Iphigenia in Tauris. Iph is 34 and stuck in a dead-end job. Haunted by the past, her present situation is grim -- she's at the mercy of a temperamental goddess and a barbarian king with a fondness for human sacrifice. And she's beginning to lose all hope of rescue.

A post-modern tragi-comedy about what to do when your Dad tries to kill you, your Mom freaks out, your brother goes crazy and you're surrounded by Barbarians.
