Sarah Einspanier’s LUNCH BUNCH is Back!

 

Last seen at Clubbed Thumb's Summerworks, Sarah Einspanier’s wonderful LUNCH BUNCH  has returned courtesy of Play Company.  A rare Critics' Pick from The New York Time's Alexis Soloski should tell you not to miss this second chance to see this show!

“Dragon Fruit! Black Beluga Lentils! Perfectly Soft-Boiled Eggs!”

Seven public defenders seek meaning, belonging, and some semblance of order via their frenzied quest for the perfect lunch – while battling ACS, inequality, burnout, and a big ole serving of existential dread.

Taylor Mac on Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus with Laura Collins-Hughes

Taylor Mac on Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus with Laura Collins-Hughes

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 2023 @ 7PM [EDT] 

The Center for Fiction, a 200-year-old literary nonprofit, and TCG will co-present Story/Teller Arts: An Evening with Taylor Mac on Wednesday, March 15 at 7pm ET at The Center for Fiction (15 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217) and via livestream.

Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus, which centers around the cleanup crew called in the day after Shakespeare’s famously sanguineous first tragedy, premiered on Broadway in 2019 starring Nathan Lane and was nominated for seven Tony Awards. Jesse Green of the New York Times named Gary a Critic’s Pick, and called it “the unlikeliest bird to land on Broadway in many a year.” Hilton Als of the New Yorker wrote that his ears “shivered with pleasure” upon hearing the play’s dialogue, which is written largely in verse. Mac will be joined in conversation by theatre critic Laura Collins-Hughes.

A New Karen Finley Performance: COVID VORTEX ANXIETY OPERA KITTY KALEIDOSCOPE DISCO

 

Two-time OBIE and BESSIE award winner, the GREAT Karen Finley is opening a new show at The Laurie Beechman Theatre! 

In COVID VORTEX ANXIETY OPERA KITTY KALEIDOSCOPE DISCO, Finley will present a new solo performance written during the pandemic that reflects on the traumas, politics, world events amidst the coping strategies with isolation, death, loss and a culture of anxiety. The text will be a poetic reflection/ response that explores the pandemic, and all its emotional consequences, embodiment, vision and courage, agency, absurdity and humanity. Being in New York City, as the hotspot will reflect on an earlier NYC as an AIDS hotspot while encountering the rage and sorrow that still remain. Such as the reversal of Roe vs Wade and the feminist intersections with other challenges. This look back while trying to look forward creates the performance purpose, passion and vulnerability of how to employ love despite the hate, to circumvent humanity despite the violence that proliferates. And the gratitude within the creative gesture as possibility of re-imagining anew.

Any new performance by Karen Finley is cause for celebration, so get your tickets Now at www.spincyclenyc.com.
