Peas and Carrots Premiers at Dances With Films →

‘Peas And Carrots’ On Menu At Upcoming Dances With Films Festival

EXCLUSIVE: Evan Oppenheimer’s narrative feature Peas and Carrots will open the third annual Dances With Films – NYC, one of more than a dozen world premieres at the bicoastal festival.

Peas and Carrots stars Kirrilee Berger, Jordan Bridges, Amy Carlson, and Kelly McAndrew in a story of “a teenage girl in New York who is the child of a couple that were one-hit wonders in the 90s. She also travels in a bizarre alternate reality, where everybody only says three words: ‘Peas and Carrots.’” Members of the Ramones, Sonic Youth, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, and Guster all contributed to the movie, according to a release, both with new music in the score and (in some cases) with appearances on screen.

SENECA FALLS

​Written by JEAN ANN DOUGLASS

Featuring
SUSANNAH FLOOD (Make Believe)
APRIL MATTHIS (Obie Award winner, Toni Stone)
KELLY McANDREW (Men on Boats)
MONIQUE ST. CYR (Thunderbodies)
ERIN WILHELMI (To Kill a Mockingbird, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, “The Knick”)
JOHN ZDROJESKI (Heroes of The Fourth Turning)

Directed by JESS CHAYES (Intelligence)


In Seneca Falls, Carrie defines the rules; Amelia envisions a husband who darns her bloomers; Frederick renounces his manhood; Margaret rides the train; Eileen drinks sherry; and Mabel lets someone else bandage her wounds. Variously platonic, romantic, and erotic, Seneca Falls is an anachronistic triptych through late nights in the first 72 years of the women’s suffrage movement: 72 years of... mostly a lot of waiting.

Great article in the NYTimes about Séances and Theater! →

The Critic’s Notebook:

A Séance Relies on Illusion. So Does Theater.

E.S.P. Conjuring the dead. Speaking with them. Shows like “The Thin Place” and “Our Dear Dead Drug Lord” use the occult to put on a show.

Read the full New York Times article by Alexis Soloski here.

The Thin Place has extended to Jan 26!! Buy tickets at playwrightshorizons.org .

Casting announced for THE THIN PLACE at Playwrights Horizons →

Playwrights Horizons cast and creative team for Lucas Hnath's The Thin Place, directed by Les Waters. From Broadway World:

Since his The Christians made its New York premiere at Playwrights Horizons in 2015, Hnath has received acclaim for two major Broadway productions (A Doll's House, Part 2 and Hillary and Clinton). He now returns to Playwrights with his most arrestingly intimate work to date. In the burgeoning friendship between two women-one who's recently experienced a strange loss, and another who communicates with the dead-Hnath crafts an unnerving testament to the power of the mind, and one mind's power to influence others. The Thin Place makes its New York premiere at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater at Playwrights Horizons (416 W 42nd St), running November 22, 2019, through January 5, 2020.

The production features Randy Danson (Playwrights: Arts and Leisure; Broadway: Wicked, Wonderful Town; Other Off-Broadway: Venus, Love and Information) as Linda, Kelly McAndrew (Playwrights: Men on Boats; Broadway: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; Other Off-Broadway: Novenas for a Lost Hospital) as Sylvia, Emily Cass McDonnell (Off-Broadway: The Antipodes, Mercury Fur, Grasses of a Thousand Colors; Film: Ben Is Back, A Master Builder) as Hilda, and Triney Sandoval (Broadway: Marvin's Room, Macbeth, A Free Man of Color, A Man for All Seasons, Frost/Nixon) as Jerry. The creative team includes Mimi Lien (Scenic Designer), Oana Boatez (Costume Designer), Mark Barton (Lighting Designer), Christian Frederickson (Sound Designer), and Paul Mills Holmes (Production Stage Manager).
