THE 2011/12 SEASON

From Itamar Moses, author of The Four of Us and Bach at Leipzig, and Obie Award winner Pam MacKinnon, director of Clybourne Park.

How does a computer scientist hook up with a molecular biologist? He blinds her with science, of course. When Elliot builds a computer program to help Molly with her research project, the variables in their evolving relationship shift as rapidly as the terms of their experiment. A deft and imaginative new meta-comedy that shows that even the most sophisticated algorithm may freeze in the face of life’s infinite possibilities.

MILK LIKE SUGAR • NEW YORK PREMIERE

From Kirsten Greenidge (off-Broadway debut) and Obie Award winner Rebecca Taichman, director of Orlando and The Scene.

With potential for more but nowhere to put it, sixteen-year-old Annie’s got a choice: honor the pregnancy pact she made with her friends, or find the path to a brighter future.  This searing, sharply observant new play finds savage humor and gritty poetry in one inner-city girl’s struggle to carve out a life beyond the only one she knows. Co-produced with La Jolla Playhouse and Women's Project.

RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN • WORLD PREMIERE

From Pulitzer Prize finalist and Obie Award winner Gina Gionfriddo, author of Becky Shaw and After Ashley and Peter DuBois, director of Becky Shaw and Jack Goes Boating.

After grad school, Catherine and Gwen chose polar opposite paths.  Catherine built a career as a rockstar academic, while Gwen built a home with her husband and children.  Decades later, unfulfilled in polar opposite ways, each woman covets the other’s life, commencing a dangerous game of musical chairs—the prize being Gwen’s husband.  With searing insight and trademark wit, this comedy is an unflinching look at gender politics in the wake of 20th century feminist ideals. Rapture, Blister, Burn was commissioned by Playwrights Horizons with funds from the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust.

ASSISTANCE • NEW YORK PREMIERE

From Leslye Headland, author of Bachelorette, and Trip Cullman, director of A Small Fire and Bachelorette.

For these young assistants, life is an endless series of humiliations at the hands of their hellacious boss, a powerful uber-magnate. In rare moments of calm when the phone calls stop rolling, Nick and Nora and their traumatized co-workers question whether all their work will lead to success—or just more work. Assistance is a biting, high-octane satire about our attraction to power and what we're willing to sacrifice to stay in its orbit.

THE BIG MEAL • NEW YORK PREMIERE

From Dan LeFranc, author of Sixty Miles to Silver Lake, and Sam Gold, Obie Award winning director of Kin; Circle Mirror Transformation; Tigers Be Still; and The Aliens.

Somewhere in America, in a typical suburban restaurant on a typical night, Sam and Nicole meet.  And sparks fly, setting in motion an expansive tale that traverses five generations of a modern family, from first kiss to final goodbye.  A stunning, big-hearted play that spans nearly eighty years in a single sitting, The Big Meal tells the extraordinary story of an ordinary family.

Don't miss the chance for this once in a lifetime theatre experience!
