Program: |
This biting comedy takes a behind-the-scenes
look at the writing of a television sitcom as a young woman
gets the job as a co-writer amidst a sea of hungry men eager
to rip her to shreds. Not suprisingly, her television world
soon descends into a ferocious madness.
Theresa Rebeck is one of America’s premiere playwrights.
Her plays include “Omnium Gatherum,” “Bad
Dates,” “The Butterfly Collection,” “Loose
Knit,” “Sunday on the Rocks,” and others.
Her one-acts have been presented at Naked Angels, Actors Theatre
of Louisville, Alice’s Fourth Floor, the Westbank, Manhattan
Punchline and Double Image Theatre. A collection of her short
plays, entitled Rebeck Revisited, ran for nine months at Theatre
Neo in L.A. and was called one of the Ten Best Plays of 1999
by L.A. Weekly. Her collected plays have been published by
Smith & Kraus. Film/television credits include “Law
& Order: Criminal Intent,” “Harriet the Spy,”
“Brooklyn Bridge,” “Dream On,” and
“NYPD Blues.”
The cast includes Chris Goss as Ed, Ira Heinichen as Ren,
Carol Grisham as Belinda, Brian Turley as Bill, Mitra Anoushiravani
as Sally, Christopher Manus as Steve, and Allison Au as Clara.
Designers are: Jessica Weibel scenic designer; Rachel Walker
costume designer; Ryan Hood lighting designer; Leilani DiCato
