Pride and Prejudice

Director: Molly Rose Heller

Theatre: Theatre @ Schapiro

Scenic Design: Sarah Karl

Costume Design: Brynne Oster-Bainnson

Sound Design: John Wikane

Description:

This isn’t your grandmother‘s Austen! Bold, surprising, boisterous and timely, this Pride and Prejudice for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?! Literature‘s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation. Because what turns us into greater fools than the high-stakes game of love?

8min20sec a new musical

Director: Jennie Hughes

Theatre: Culutre Lab LIC, NYC

Scenic Design: Ren Orth

Costume Design: Paola Castañeda

Description:

8min20sec by Eliana Rubin is a collection of musical reckonings. It takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds for the sun's light to reach our Earth. In our story, the sun has just burned out and we explore how people reckon with their imminent demise. This brand new, original musical is composed of eight short stories woven together with Greek chorus style interludes all with different musical stylings. Featuring big, Broadway 11 o'clock numbers, silly, goofy, campy love songs and heartbreaking, reflective ballads each beginning when the sun is announced to have gone out. We witness different reactions to the world-ending news, but each story begs the question: how can we hold on when we have to let go?

ENTANGLED: 12 SCENES IN A CIRCLE K OFF THE I-40 IN NEW MEXICO

Director: Scott Illingworth

Theatre: HERA Arts Center, NYC

Scenic Design: Jacob Bears

Costume Design: Sandrina Sparagna

Sound Design: Avi Amon

Projection Design: Lauren Nychelle

Description:

Off the I-40 in the American southwest sits a Circle K gas station where something strange is happening: Time and space shift, happy couples suddenly break up, and people disappear for days after stepping into the tiny bathroom. Is this place a portal, tied to the decades of deathly scientific research just a few miles away? In this play – born from ensemble research, debate, and playwright-driven improvisation – theories of free will and quantum science play out in massive dance parties and micro emotional exchanges.

We the People of the 50 Acres Wood

Director: Calvin Atkinson

Theatre: Lenfest Center of the Arts, NYC

Set Design: Michael Lewis

Costume Design: Jaymie Bellous

Sound Design: Halley Sylvester

Description:

Inspired by A.A. Milne’s classic characters, the beloved 100 Acre Wood is in the midst of a civil war. Throughout this multi-year conflict, childhood friends Winnie, Christopher, and H.P. Piglet find themselves on different paths. H.P. struggles with the moral dilemmas of being a soldier, Christopher discovers what can happen when the powerless gain power, and Winnie is on the run for dodging the draft. Part war epic, part whimsical absurdism, this play looks at how people justify violence, the lengths you’ll go to defend what you believe in and if fire is fought with fire - will the acres just burn to the ground?
