The Wedge Horse workshop

September 22, 2014 Fault Line Theatre

This week, Fault Line Theatre and a group of talented actors and designers will be workshopping a brand new play by the ultra-talented Nick Gandiello called The Wedge Horse. We’ve been a huge fan of Nick’s work for a long time now and we can’t wait to get in the room with him and work through one of his scripts. The workshop will be directed by our co-artistic director Aaron Rossini and includes actors Charlie Thurston, Alejandro Rodriguez, and Megan Hughes.

What’s more, many of our artistic associates will also be stopping by to attack the script from a design perspective. We’ve always believed that plays not only come alive in the mouths and bodies of actors, but also in the creative work of designers. It’s extremely exciting to approach the story from this multi-disciplinary angle while the playwright is still working through the script.

The Walk-Up

September 20, 2014 Fault Line Theatre

Congratulations to Fault Line Theatre Honor Roll member (and lovely wife of co-founder Tristan Jeffers) Julia Brownell! NBC has put her show The Walk-Up into development. The project is described as “… a first-person narrative about two 30-something couples — one with a baby on the way — who decide to buy and live in a Brooklyn brownstone together, creating their own version of the modern urban family.” It is being produced by Jason Katim’s True Jack Productions (Parenthood, About A Boy). More info about the project can be found here.

Congrats Julia!

A LITTLE ABOUT THE PLAY

The September Play Project is a festival of new plays, all 6 minutes long and set outdoors. The plays will always be performed outside by a diverse set of artists that range from the amateur to the professional.

The aim of the festival is to provide artists with a comfortable and supportive platform to create new work under minimal creative parameters that also aim to challenge. The producers also wanted to create a place where ticket sales went directly into the artists pockets in the hope to start building an industry where new work has the monetary value it deserves.

The Festival itself, in it’s inaugural year, will be on the Rooftop of The Delancey, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

This isn’t just a play festival. It’s going to be a play party. DJ sets before and after the performances!

CAST:

  • Shelley Smalls
  • Jenny Gomez

  • Playwright - Nick Leavens

Russian Fairy Tales

Anyone who caught our production of Frogs knows that Blake Segal, the actor who played Xanthias, is a tremendously talented performer. Would you like to see more of him? The answer should be: of course! Luckily, he’s part of a team developing a play called Bones in the Basket, a cabaret-like performance of seven classic Russian Fairy Tales, set to go up in early October. We’ll have more info closer to the show date, but for the time being here’s a link to their IndieGoGo campaign to help fund the show.

Regardless, mark the dates October 8 – 12 on your calendar and get excited for a night of “startling plot twists, morbid spectacles, and biting humor”

A LITTLE ABOUT THE PLAY

Troubled souls grapple with diphtheria, infant mortality, and cocaine addiction, among other obstacles, in Lizzie Vieh’s new drama, Wisconsin Death Trip, based on the book by Michael Lesy. Wisconsin Death Trip mixes vivid poetic language with deliciously dark humor, and explores themes of loss, sickness, alienation, drug addiction, and sexual yearning. While most events are filtered through the perspective of tireless newspaperman Frank Cooper (Utter), the heart of the drama is found in our intimate encounters with characters such as Anna Myinek (Lubow) and Ward Rausch (Loughlin), two homeless tramps on-the-go; and Vera Arlington (Kaplan), a wealthy daughter of a landowner who marries beneath her status, dies during childbirth, and returns as a ghost. These stories offer small glimpses into the resoluteness of the human spirit in the face of utter destruction.

CAST:

  • Georgia Cohen
  • Charise Greene
  • Karl Gregory
  • Brough Hansen

Churros in Spain

August 12, 2014 Fault Line Theatre

I’m currently on holiday in the South of Spain… home of flamenco, Federico García Lorca, and most importantly… churros.

Memories of last season’s production of The Faire are coming back to me on this fine summer day.

Ursula would be proud… wherever she is.

It was so exciting to hear Lynn Rosen’s brand new play Washed Up On The Potomac read aloud by a talented group of six actors and in the company of close friends. I snapped a few photos before the actors took their places for the reading.

You may remember Fault Line Theatre actor Karl Gregory (pictured top right) as Aeschylus in our production of Frogs back in 2011… Or perhaps you know him as the screenwriter Dennis in our GLAAD Award winning original work, From White Plains. Personally, I’ve been a huge fan of Karl since I first saw him play Heiner Müeller in a production of Full Circle while he was still an MFA candidate at Brown University (it’s worth noting that he had a 15 minute monologue in that show that absolutely blew me away). All this is to say, Karl’s fantastic and I look forward to any chance to see him perform. Luckily, he’ll be in a brand new play called Mother’s Day making its world premiere this August as part of the 18th annual New York International Fringe Festival – FringeNYC.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE PLAY

Acid-tongued New York drag queen Helen Back (aka Joey Pollack) incites a nuclear family meltdown when he comes home to New Jersey to see his family for Mother’s Day. His mother Liz (never without a glass of wine), father Talbott (always ready with a refill) and older brother Nicky (hungover and still playing video games in the basement on the cusp of 30) are a captive audience to Joey’s trademark button-pushing and cruel putdowns. But a shocking announcement finally tears down the illusions they have been maintaining for years and reveals the limits to what each of them they can accept in the name of family.

CAST:

  • Karl Gregory
  • Renee Claire Bergeron
  • Neal Lerner
  • Brough Hansen
  • Rhonda Ayers

PRODUCTION TEAM:

  • Playwright – Colin Drucker
  • Director – Reginald L. Douglas
