A SubBug Production
Apparition
an uneasy play of the underknown
by Anne Washburn

postcard for Apparition at chashama 125
Fri - Sun, Nov. 7 - 9
Thu - Mon, Nov.13 - 17
Wed - Sun, Nov.19 - 23
All performances at 8p
Directed by Linsay Firman
With Scott Blumenthal*, David Brooks*, Steven Rattazzi*, Heidi Schreck*, T. Ryder Smith*
(*Appears courtesy of Actors Equity)

Modern ghost stories alternate with bouts of fake Latin. The story of Macbeth is told and retold; waiting to go on, the actors playing the witches hold a headcount, and discover they are one too many. Demons appear in suburban backyards and reappear elsewhere in another narrative. A couple, in an attic, can't decide if they are alive or dead. It ends badly.
Tickets $15, available at 212.868.4444 or
www.smarttix.com
Apparition was developed through the Soho Rep Writer/Director Lab and R&D Series

A BAD MATH PRODUCTION
3 AMERICANISMS
by Mac Wellman

Nov. 8-Nov. 22 Thursday-Saturday @ 10
Directed by Laramie Dennis
Starring Jeffrey Emerson, Travis York, and Kate Benson
3 Americans road-trip through the political and cultural wasteland of American life in the Chubby years, risking life and limb to reach the radioactive garbage dump at the end of the rainbow. Mac Wellman's answer to the "ceaselessly edifying, dreadful wreck of American Theater-sliding into the lifeless, joyless bog of Anglophile inanition," 3 AMERICANISMS is a vintage Wellmaniac opus. Come and get it.

Byron and Emily Go To Work is an Equity Approved Showcase
*These actors/stage manager(s) are appearing courtesy of Actor's Equity Association.
Quattro Gatti Theatre Company, a group of trained and experienced young actors interested in creating new and inventive work, presents the New York premiere of Byron and Emily Go To Work and prepare to travel to the 2004 Dublin Fringe Festival, where they have been invited to participate in the first Young American Playwrights Series:
Byron and Emily go to work but they don't want to. Not in the least. With their boss, Mr. Inferno, about to make them an offer they may not be able to resist, they are going to have to make a choice. Time was when struggling artists like Byron and Emily ran as far away from the corporate world as possible. But those days are largely gone. The temps find themselves tapping out iambic pentameter with No. 2 pencils on their desks, trying to eke out a living in the Big Apple. They quickly learn you can't have your verse and write it too. If you stand too close to the fire that is corporate America, they give you an office and an expense account. Does "Temp" stand for Temporary, or for Temptation?

a Mobius production
Juliett 484
postcard of Mobius production "Juliett 484"
Friday, September 26, 2003
a post-festival presentation of an international exchange involving 16 artists, eight from Poland, and eight from the U.S (six from Mobius, two from Providence), two festivals and three collaborating organizations to run August 23rd - September 4th, site-specifically at the Gdansk shipyard in Poland (as part of the Castle of Imagination International Performance Art Festival) and in Providence, R.I., at Collier Point Park where the submarine is docked ( as part of the Convergence International Arts Festival). The project takes it title from a decommissioned Russian submarine docked at Collier Point Park in Providence. It is through the benign retirement of the sub that issues of totalitarianism, the Cold War, and the recent naval and maritime history of the Baltic Sea, (where Juliett 484 toured, and probably docked, in Ustka and Gdansk) along with naming and numerology will be explored in the project.

more info: www.s6k.com
A series of moving monologues inspired by stories from the Arab American, Muslim and South Asian communities.
From a young girls' bewilderment at her father's disappearance, to an INS agent's rant and a Sikh woman's humourous conversation with an arsonist, the characters' truths aim to enlighten, activate and inspire.
Interweaving drama, dance, music and multimedia, this poignant multidisciplinary piece explores the impact of recent legislation on several communities in the US that are experiencing the trauma of detention, disappearance and deportation.
"The world does contain much ugliness and despair, but artists have the divine privilege of reshaping the world to incorporate not a minimum amount of involvement and interpretation, but a maximum amount."
-Thomas Kinkaid

Each month this summer THAW's Freedom Follies has assembled a posse of rough and tumble NYC theater all-stars for performances, readings and speak-outs. August's Follies took it to the next level with standing room only displays of satire and subversion.
Don't miss out! September 9 -- Save the date and participate!

Globalvision announces a VIP prescreening of the show
SOUTH AFRICA NOW AND THEN
MONDAY JULY 28th at 6:30 PM
to be followed by a panel discussion and South African party.

The pilot episode premieres in prime time on New York City's CUNY TV (Channel 75) at 10 PM on MONDAY AUGUST 18th (additional screenings at l0 AM and 4 PM, as well as Sunday August 24 at 8.30 AM).

In 2004, South Africa marks its tenth anniversary of freedom and democracy. To celebrate and document the occasion, Globalvision, an independent TV company with a long history reporting on South Africa, is introducing a new series: SOUTH AFRICA NOW AND THEN.

South Africa Now, Globalvision's pioneering, Emmy-award winning series, covered the liberation struggle of South Africa from the inside-out every week for three years on television worldwide, spotlighting the evils of apartheid while showcasing the energy and vibrance of South Africa.

"South Africa Now showed images of brutality and inspiration that South African TV wouldn't screen and the American networks refused to show," says the series' creator, Danny Schechter, who serves as Executive Producer of the updated series. "We want to expose audiences to a vast archive of unique footage that so many South Africans never saw, to inspire reflections on the past and the future of their fight for freedom."

SOUTH AFRICA NOW AND THEN is reported by Prudence Solomon, who has anchored for CNN, CNBC, and SABC. The pilot features reminiscences by UN Ambassador Dumisani Kumalo and a musical performance by Hugh Masekela and pays tribute to the recently deceased hero Walter Sisulu. There is also a segment on the documentary movie AMANDLA!, and one about a youth media group called the Sustainable Revolutionaries who have created a song and video about sustainable development.
"It's important that we connect with youth," says co-producer Michael Lee. "It's too easy for them to forget about the sacrifices and triumphs that brought them the opportunities they have today." SOUTH AFRICA NOW AND THEN plans to work with young producers in South Africa to help tell their stories.

Performance
All's Well That Ends...Well
adapted from Shakespeare, et al., by
Lucy Smith Conroy and Maria Mercedes Cole
a blessed unrest production

Also interspresed with text and story from other sources, including Boccaccio's Decameron and Machiavelli's The Prince.
Friday, May 23 - Sunday, June 15

Set in the living rooms of contemporary society and in the midst of a far-off war, ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS...WELL tells of a society disrupted by the misplaced affections of a young woman, the defiance of a nobleman, and the terrifying power of a sick king revived. It is a story of rebellion and the relentless pursuit of happiness, pitting the rigors of youth against the obstinacy of experience, class against class, mettle against blood.
