Like Madame Defarge and her prophetic knitting needles, only Patrick Bristow has an idea about what’s in store for the six puppeteers in STUFFED AND UNSTRUNG, the outrageous adults-only comedy/puppet show – and even he doesn’t know for sure. As with a box of chocolates – the audience and performers at the improvisational show never know what they’re going to get, and the result is two hours of deliciously demented fun for grown-ups.

It has the earliest of curtain times, it has the latest of curtain times. Its audience drinks from juice boxes, its audience drinks from beer cans. It is a carefully controlled underwater adventure, it is puppet anarchy. What the Dickens is going on? This week, two new Off-Broadway puppet productions are opening, and while they couldn’t be more different in many ways, both John Tartaglia's IMAGINOCEAN and Stuffed and Unstrung are shining examples of the theatrical possibilities of felt and fur.

APRIL OFF-BROADWAY OPENINGS
Blog posted Saturday, March 27, 2010

April brings another variety-stuffed smorgasbord to Off-Broadway stages with eight new productions opening: a couple of audacious comedy spectacles (puppets or Spaniards: take your pick), the theatrical debut of one of Hollywood's most celebrated directors, a pair of classically-oriented shows (a new interpretation of Shakespeare's sonnets, an American stage classic)...  A boundary-pushing musical, the transfer of a long-running Broadway hit, and much more!

Beg, borrow, or steal... or even sell your blood plasma if you have to. Musical theatre fans owe it to themselves to snag tickets to THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS. The new show by the legendary songwriting team of Kander & Ebb earns its place among the team's most hallowed shows, including Cabaret and Chicago - and is probably their best new tuner since 1993's Kiss of the Spiderwoman.

WHEN THE RAIN STOPS FALLING

A lonely, bedraggled man wanders through a torrential downpour in Alice Springs, Australia. As passers-by rush dizzyingly by under a cover of umbrellas, the brooding sky opens up as an enormous fish drops at the feet of Gabriel York, and an exciting, challenging new play falls into the laps of New York theatergoers.

YANK! A WWII LOVE STORY
Blog posted Saturday, February 27, 2010

Now playing through April 4, 2010

New York is seeing a vast array of gay-themed plays this spring. This surprising theatrical trend covers historical topics, as depicted in The Temperamentals, and The Pride, as well as a new environmental production of Mart Crowley’s 1968 groundbreaking hit The Boys in the Band. In addition, last year’s Off-Broadway hit Next Fall, which concerns a modern gay couple and their conflicts over religious differences, is currently in previews on Broadway. And then there’s YANK! A WWII LOVE STORY, a sensational musical drama about soldiers who fight not only the Axis but also their powerful feelings for each other amidst the turmoil of the war.
