The first week of rehearsals for Nick Gandiello’s The Wedge Horse has come to an end. Nick has written a magnificent play and after many months of anticipation, it was so thrilling to actually sit down in the room with the actors, designers, and company to start developing the thing!
Here’s a little glimpse behind the scenes into the first week of work.

Our buddy Rudi is one of our favorite actors on the planet. You may remember him from our productions of Doctor Faustus and Frogs. He will be starring in a crazy (and apparently pretty gory) retelling of the Donner Party story. The production is called The Tower and it’s presented by the AntiMatter Collective (founded in part by fellow Brown University alumni). Join the party!

Titled for the Tarot card of chaos and collapse, The Tower is a psychedelic journey into the history and mythology of the Donner Party, a group of snowbound pioneers who notoriously resorted to cannibalism to survive a brutal winter. Part loft party, part guided tour, The Tower employs historical fact and hallucinatory speculation in search of the terrible heart of the Donner legend. A vision of adolescent America: frostbitten, bloodstained, ravenous.

Last week, our friends in Clutch Productions opened their inaugural production, Every Good Girl Deserves Fun, and we couldn’t be more excited to catch this new play Heidi Armbruster. The good people in Clutch have been doing fantastic work both artistically and socially. In their own words:
“The goal of Clutch Productions is to commission a play from a female playwright and foster it from the blank page to an Off-Broadway production in 12 months. In addition, Clutch’s priority is to create jobs for women in theater and film. Therefore, we require all commissioned works to have a female director, 3+ strong female roles, and that at least 50% of the cast is female.”
What’s more, tonight is Alzheimer’s Awareness Night, with a portion of ticket sales going to Alzheimer’s research and care. This is socially relevant theatre at its best. We’ll be there tonight and hope you will be too!

On an unseasonably warm October weekend, two sisters return to their small hometown in Wisconsin to problem solve their mother’s early onset Alzheimer’s. Their struggles to be caregivers set off a chain reaction that tears through the entire community and leaves Liz, the recently promoted director of the memory care wing, to pick up the pieces.
What happens when prolonged adolescence runs headlong into early onset Alzheimer’s?
A dark comedy about growing up too late and aging too soon.

We can’t wait to catch the world premiere of our friend Lizzie Vieh’s latest play Barrier Islands. Lizzie’s plays have been workshopped all over the city, but this production will be her full-length New York City debut. One of our favorite new playwrights, in one of our favorite venues? How could you possibly go wrong. Check it out!

New York, NY 10009
An isolated island community, a two-lane highway, an all-night gas station, and a crime scene on a deserted beach. The residents of Ivy Dunes are used to disappearing acts—with each hurricane, a little more of their narrow barrier island washes away. But when a young woman’s disappearance leads to a gruesome discovery, the police descend, the ocean encroaches, and the residents of this barrier island community struggle to find their footing in the ever-shifting landscape.
Receiving its world premiere at The Wild Project in New York City this November, Barrier Islands is a new play about the tangled intersections between men and women; sex and violence; desire and repulsion.

Our very own John Racioppo is starring in an immersive theatre diamond heist play called Untameable co-produced by The Unsoft War and Highly Impractical Theatre.

"There are things more important than love / Name them / Diamonds"
There is a diamond as big as your fist, as heavy as your heart, and touring through Buenos Aires, Argentina. It’s time to steal it. Or it’s time to keep it safe.
Pitting diamond heist against museum intrigue, Untameable follows the story of two young women: one trying to repatriate an old jewel and the other trying to keep old nemeses at bay. The audience is free to wander the space and pick which side of the story to follow.Untameable offers an immersive romp between a criminal den and a modern museum, where the audience, like the characters, must decide between love and diamonds, honesty and victory. Untameable is an investigation into what we will do to achieve our magnum opus and what gets lost in the winning.
