Housebreaking by Jakob Holder
KC Premier
Enter Chad, obviously worn out from a night of drinking. Enter Carmine, obviously homeless. Chad's tired of his job, his shipwreck of a sister, his shut-in father, his whole thirty-five year old life.Carmine is tired of life on the streets. Chad brings Carmine home, offering a drink, a shower and a warm place to sleep, all the while forgetting that stray animals are wild and cunning survivors. Housebreaking is a slowly smoldering story that makes us wonder how we got to be who we are - and what happens when we attempt to change.
Presented in an equity showcase in New York as part of the Cherry Lane Mentor Project.
"Jakob Holder is a gifted and provocative young playwright".

MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM
By August Wilson
Winner of a New York Drama Critics Circle Award and 1985 Tony Award for Best Play
It's 1927 in a rundown studio in Chicago where Ma Rainey is recording new sides of old favorites. More goes down in the session than music in this riveting portrayal of rage, racism, the self hate and exploitation.
"Searing ... funny, salty, carnal and lyrical.... Wilson has lighted a dramatic fuse that snakes and hisses through several anguished eras of American life. When the fuse reaches its explosive final destination, the audience is impaled by the impact." - The New York Times
"Brilliant ... explosive! Dramatically riveting." - Newhouse Newspapers

Pride’s Crossing by Tina Howe
Finalist for 1997 Pulitzer Prize in Drama
Named Best American Play by the N.Y. Drama Critics Circle.
At ninety, Mabel Tidings Bigelow insists on celebrating her daughter and granddaughter's annual visit with an archaic croquet party. As it unfolds, she relives vignettes from the last eighty years that subtly interleave past and present to reveal the precise moment of opportunity lost and love rejected that define her life. Her Boston blue blood family expected daughters to applaud from the sidelines, but Mabel had one shining moment of achievement: she was the first woman to swim the English channel. Her willfulness did not extend to rejecting a socially ideal fiancee for love.
"A play you will remember and forever cherish." - N.Y. Post
"Infused with Ms. Howe's lyrical sense of mortality.... The dramatist's ear for the music in everyday conversation is obvious." - The New York Times

RAGTIME Book by Terrence McNally, Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, Music by Stephen Flaherty.
Based on the Book by E.L Doctorow.
1998 Tony Awards for Best Score, Book and Orchestrations, and won both the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Musical and Best Score.
RAGTIME is not only a powerful portrait of life in turn-of-the-century America, but a relevant tale for today. Written by the award-winning composer/lyricist team of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens (ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, SUESSICAL and LUCKY STIFF) noted playwright Terrence McNally, (KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, MASTER CLASS), and based on E.L. Doctorow's distinguished novel, the musical intertwines the stories of three extraordinary families, as they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America.
"A triumph for the stage."-Time Magazine
"The best musical in twenty years."- International Herald Tribune |
