IF WE ARE WOMEN
Beginning its 38th Season, the Group Rep brings to us IF WE ARE WOMEN written by Joanna McClelland Glass and directed by Sherry Netherland. The Connecticut shore is the setting for three generations of women (two very different grandmothers, a daughter and a granddaughter) who come together over the death of the daughter’s lover, and in the process which follows, realize the union between the choices they have made and the challenges they encountered.
The first several minutes of Damian Lanigan's "Dissonance," now at the Falcon Theatre, are devoted to a testy debate between the two violinists in a string quartet regarding the proper tempo for playing a piece by Mozart.

Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group presents the World-Premiere of Joe Musso's brutal story of love, lust, blood, and betrayal, set in New Orleans during the rampant onslaught of an apocalyptic Hurricane Katrina. Greta - a Bourbon Street stripper, lustfully played by Denise Devin, wants "The Prophet", passionately played by Phillip J. Wheeler, to die for his damnation of her seedy sinful ways. It's her criminally-minded street-smart husband Rod, powerfully portrayed by Boston Sturgis, who stands in her way.
Give yourself a treat and spend an evening with 29 unusual and comedic characters in the recent production of Plane Talk at SkyPilot Theater in NoHo.

Rest assured, the large ensemble is able to handle the many characters of each act which includes a wonderful cross cultural example of everyday folks just trying to fly somewhere with the least amount of interference.
