Armed and Naked in America consists of 14 established and emerging playwrights' sometimes scathing, sometimes funny, always insightful responses to life during wartime America, presented together on one stage. Week 1 features a bill of eight plays by distinguished playwrights, including Betty Shamieh, Theresa Rebeck (The Scene), as well as Academy Award-nominated Jose Rivera (The Motorcycle Diaries) and Itamar Moses (Bach at Leipzig). Week 2 features six different plays and playwrights, including Tony and Drama Desk winner David Rabe (Hurlyburly), Tony Award winner Warren Leight (Side Man), Will Eno (Thom Pain), and Pippin Parker. Short videos by some of the city's hottest sketch comedy groups, music performances, and special guests from the worlds of politics, media and entertainment will also complement the performances.SCHEDULE (subject to change)
