theAtrainplays, vol.
XXIII
WEDNESDAY JUNE 25th
New World Stages
theAtrainplays are a celebration
of New York, created by six teams while traveling
the entire route of the A train, from 207th
Street & Broadway to Far Rockaway and
back. On Tuesday evening, June 24th, four
librettists will hop on the A train at 207th
Street and begin writing the books for four
15-minute musicals, all set on the A train.
Before each of the teams begins their journey,
they pick a number between 3 and 5 to set
the number of characters, then they choose
headshots from a blind draw to determine who
is in each piece. When the librettists reach
the Far Rockaway stop, they randomly select,
through another blind draw, their collaborative
lyricists, composers, directors and choreographers,
who have been awaiting their arrival at a
nearby McDonald’s with two playwrights
joining them and just beginning their journey.
Two directors will meet the creators of the
now finished plays at 207th Street and they
all proceed to Columbus Circle where they
meet the pre-selected pool of actors, decipher
their scribbles, copy the scripts and begin
rehearsals. They have until show time THE
NEXT DAY, Wednesday night, June 25th at 8:00PM
to develop these works into six exciting new
musical experiences to be shared with the
audience at New World Stages on the set of
the hit musical Altar Boyz.
Tickets for this ONE NIGHT
ONLY event benefiting the Off-Broadway community
are $50 for the performance, $100 for premium
seats with a post-show party with the cast
and creative team. Tickets can be purchased
on-line at www.telecharge.com, by calling

No election year would be

and incomparable Jackie Mason – who
brings his 8th and final one-man comedy tour
de force, JACKIE MASON - THE ULTIMATE JEW,
to New World Stages, beginning March 18th
for a limited ten-week run, through May 25th
only. Long passionate about politics, Jackie
Mason is well known for his tough and outspoken
position on a variety of issues.
Elder statesman of the stand-up
comedy world, Jackie Mason combines pungent
political satire, insightful observations
on the foibles of modern life, and impeccable
timing to create material that leaves audiences
laughing until they cry show after show. The
Chicago Tribune said Mason is "splendidly
funny, a side-splitter." Once in a generation,
a performer emerges who is so extraordinary,
so brilliant, that he or she become the standard
to whom all others are compared. Jackie Mason
is such a performer, and is widely regarded
as one of the greatest stand-up comics of
all time, now more popular than ever!

Open Run
TRIAD Theater
LAST JEW IN EUROPE is an
absurdist "dramedy" about the resurgence
of anti-Semitism in Europe. The setting is
Lodz, Poland, the time is today. Written,
and now also directed, by Tuvia Tenenbom,
the Jewish Theater's Artistic Director, LAST
JEW IN EUROPE explores the under currents
of racism and the overtones of assimilation.
LAST JEW IN EUROPE previously played to sold-out
audiences in New York during last season's
successful run. The former production, having
been staged in a traditional theatrical format
is re-opening at the Triad with a new postmodernist
direction. Drawing from its previous success,
LAST JEW IN EUROPE will forgo the stage altogether.
All the action takes place among the audience.
This will allow New York theatergoers the
ability to transform into the Lodz residents
and experience LAST JEW IN EUROPE from inside
the skin of the characters.

A PERFECT COUPLE is
a story about three best friends -- Amy,
Issac and Emma -- and their young next
door neighbor, Josh. After fifteen years
of dating/living together/taking breaks
and now, moving upstate, Amy and Isaac
are finally tying the knot. Emma, their
single best friend, has decided to get
out of the city and join them for a summer
weekend in the country. Over the long
weekend, secrets are revealed and bonds
are tested, forcing these friends to discover
who they are now, versus who they thought
they would become. Brooke Berman's newest
play raises pressing questions about loyalty,
partnerships, and modern love.

THE WILD PROJECT
Adamanto Productions and
Electric Pear, in association with Liebman
Entertainment are proud to present a limited
Off-Broadway run of the U.S. premiere of
Stitching – a deeply twisted, intricate
drama by Scottish playwright Anthony Neilson
– at The Wild Project (195 East Third
Street) now through July 19. Directed by
Timothy Haskell and starring acclaimed Israeli
actress Meital Dohan and Gian-Murray Gianino,
Stitching will play the following schedule
during the July 4th holiday week and weekend:
Stu and Abby love each
other so madly, they’re driving each
other crazy. Stitching follows the increasingly
disturbing and inventive games the couple
plays in order to connect. As they circle
and test each other, they role-play with
reality and fantasy to the point where even
they don’t seem sure what is real
anymore. When Abby discovers she’s
pregnant, the choices they make will haunt
them forever. The visceral poetry and physicality
between the lovers creates a surprisingly
tender, often humorous, brutal romance.
Stitching challenges the notions of modern
romance in an increasingly complex world.
Stiching is directed Timothy
Haskell and stars: Meital Dohan and Gian-Murray
Gianino.
Tickets are $45 and can
be arranged through www.OvationTix.com or
by calling 212.352.3101. A limited number
of Student Rush tickets will be available
for purchase at the box office (cash only)
2-hours prior to each performance. For more
