by Dep Kirkland

Internationally renowned trial lawyer John Paris plays to win, both in and out of court. For Karen Lukoff, John’s young associate, losing has never been an option either. Together, they are a litigation juggernaut. John’s nephew Dan Burks, inherited his uncle’s tenacity and determination, and wants to prove he is every bit as good as Karen.

After a major lawsuit victory, John’s firm celebrates the win as hard as they fought for it. In the drunken morning hours, left alone, John and Karen collide in a high-octane moment that will cause everyone—including the audience—to question what they know about desire, consent, winning, and losing. And ultimately, they are faced with the question: is the law really on your side?

THE SAINTLINESS OF MARGERY KEMPE

|

Previews begin July 5th, 2018 at The Duke on 42nd Street

Check out the website and to purchase tickets!

 

Tony Award winner, John Wulp writes of Margery Kempe, an English mystic who lived in the 1300’s. She fancied herself to be extraordinary, and she wanted the whole world to be aware of this fact. She first tried to make herself notorious by throwing her lot in with the Devil and buying a brewery. When this failed she decided to pursue an opposite tack and elected to become a saint instead. Although she had no real qualifications for the job, she worked at her new career diligently. Her quest for saintliness set her free from the sexual demands of her husband and the needs of her six children. She was free to roam the world performing bogus miracles. Eventually she even made a tour of The Holy Land.

From the author: “Margery Kempe is a universal figure. In her desire to give meaning to her life, she embodies the human condition. I see in her the material for comedy, but it is a loving comedy. Although I wrote the play more than sixty years ago, it is amazingly contemporary. In her refusal to let her life be defined by men, Margery Kempe is a uniquely modern woman. But if she is timely, she is also timeless. The discrepancy between ambition and ability has always been the stuff of comedy.”

LITTLE ROCK

|

Playing in the Loreto Theatre at
The Sheen Center for Thought and Culture
10 Bleecker Street in New York City.
Previews begin May 30th 2018

Little Rock is the true story of The Little Rock Nine — the first blacks to volunteer to integrate Little Rock Central High School, the formerly segregated all-white public school in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957.

They were average teenagers with above-average grades and varied interests  — track star, basketball star, jazz impresario, aspiring theater actress, Shakespearean, aspiring attorney, teacher and resident comedian. They wanted access to the best facilities, best books and best teaching instruction that their capitol city offered. They would agree to sacrifice sports, music, drama club and any other extracurricular activities that would lend itself to unnecessary race-mixing, in order to do so.

Their quest might have been otherwise unremarkable and gone unnoticed — had they not been in the Jim Crow South with a defiant Governor willing to violate federal law (Brown vs Board of Education) to integrate schools.

The staged cast of this real-life drama journeys back to 1957 to unveil those intimate, never-revealed, moments between The Nine and their supporting and opposing real-life cast — parents, civil rights leaders, mayor, school board, segregationists, bullies, administrators, teachers, community activists, famous athletes and entertainers, prominent local businessmen, television and newspaper reporters, international heads of state.

Told in memory, Little Rock artfully hurtles between past and present, challenge and triumph, hate and hope. It examines the unintended efforts of nine brave American teenagers forever thrust onto the national stage, unwittingly becoming agents of social change in the process — igniting the passions of a nation in the early dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, forever changing the face of education in America and giving hope to millions around the world in the generations to follow.

They never planned to be change agents.

They didn’t consider themselves heroes.

They just wanted to go to school.

GEORGIE

|

ED DIXON – 2017 DRAMA DESK WINNER
OUTSTANDING SOLO PERFORMANCE

This roller-coaster of a show captured audiences in New York City and Washington like none other. Everyone was talking about this unique tour-de-force. Everyone was leaving the theatre in awe of what they had just witnessed. Everyone was speechless. Some reviews from the New York Production at The Loft at the Davenport Theatre:

“In recent years Ed Dixon—actor, writer, composer—has delivered two of the most wrenching literary stomach punches I’ve ever received: punch one with his autobiographical memoir, Secrets of a Life On Stage… and Off, which I read a few years ago, and punch two with his incandescent performance in his play Georgie, which just opened at The Loft at the Davenport Theater. In both cases, the punch was swift, unpredicted and straight to the gut.” Glen Roven – Huffington Post

“It has been said that theatre at its most basic is great storytelling. Georgie: My Adventures with George Rose is an exhilarating story, and indeed brilliantly told.” – BroadwayWorld

“… a first class ticket on a theatrical time machine ride. We get to sit at the feet of a great storyteller getting punch drunk on theatre memories. Brilliant text, astounding performance, astute direction – unforgettable evening.” – New York Theatre Guide

“Dixon is priceless….he holds you in his thrall for the entire 90-miniutes and proves not only a great interpreter of Rose’s life and work, but a worthy successor to his stage presence.  Oh, what a relief!” – Michael Musto – Out

“As the story progresses, the jovial, sunny performance he delivers begins to morph into a rigid and deeply sad one by the end. Director Eric Schaeffer guides this multifaceted performance into a beautifully appropriate balance of lightness and darkness. Yet even as such a horrible story comes to life before our eyes, it’s clear that no matter what, Dixon still respects his late mentor, even if his feelings now are weightier and more complicated than they were when the two first met. Georgie is a tribute to one of Broadway’s greats, while reminding us that everyone we see onstage has a story all their own.” – TheatreMania

“Hugely funny, and masterfully constructed.  For an actor, seeing this show is one of those times when you remember why you got involved in the first place.” – McPhillamyActoBlog

ME THE PEOPLE – THE TRUMP AMERICA MUSICAL

|

“A lot of people, especially on the left, have forgotten the importance of humor as an incredible weapon, and a vehicle through which to affect change.”   —Michael Moore

They say that comedy is tragedy plus time. After over 100 days of Trump, the creators of 2006’s acclaimed musical revue Bush Wars  declare that, it’s time! Their new show, ME THE PEOPLE—The Trump America Musical, is an uproarious entertainment that takes aim at the embarrassment that is the topsy-turvy presidency of Comrade Donald J. Trump.

From his Crony Cabinet, to his Supremely Radical Court, White House grifters Ivanka and Jared and of course, the Trumpcare debacle, no one is spared. ME THE PEOPLE also offers a hilarious diagnosis from Sigmund Freud and a tour de force earful from Hillary Clinton.

National Tour: Wicked), Santina Umbach (Broadway: Mamma Mia), Brandon Timmons (Regional: Young Frankenstein, The Music Man), Holly Cinnamon (Regional: Into the Woods, A Christmas Carols), Jon Kovach (TV:” Little House on the Prairie“), and Michael Romeo Ruocco (NY: The Underclassmen)

A Note from the Playwright, Joan Beber:

Dear Jane is my most meaningful play. About me and my identical twin, She died ten years ago. We adored and hated and adored each other. She was first born and first to die. She was everything to me.

She teaches me how to live and how to die.

I always think: what would Jane do or say.

AQUILA THEATRE CO – OUR TROJAN WAR

― Homer, The Iliad, Book 22 (Tr. R. Fagles)

BEDLAM’s SENSE & SENSIBILITY

|

You’ve never seen Austen like this! Called the “greatest stage adaptation of this novel in history,” this rollicking, ingeniously-staged new adaptation follows the adventures (and misadventures) of the Dashwood sisters – sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne – after their sudden loss of fortune.

Bursting with humor, emotion, and bold theatricality, ‘Sense and Sensibility’ asks: when reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart?

“Blissfully delightful”
– Huffington Post

“Goofy, joyous and deeply moving”
– Daily News 

“Downton Abbey on roller skates….Go! Go! Go!”
– Philadelphia Inquirer

“It’s by far the smartest Jane Austen adaptation to come along
since Amy Heckerling’s Clueless, and at least as much fun.”
– Wall Street Journal
