Abstract Expression

After a scathing review 15 years ago, a once-celebrated painter faded into impoverished obscurity. Can one chance encounter resurrect this volatile artist from obscurity and re-launch him to overnight success?

O Beautiful

In our age of cyber-bullying and aggressive patriotism remember those lyrics – or else! A theatrically inventive mash up of contemporary American life and the history that got us to this politically polarized age. Its fiercely funny story explores the lives of high school students, teachers, and their families as they cope in a world of real personal problems and extremist ideological rhetoric that gets so heated that Jesus, Saint Paul, Joan of Arc, John Adams, Patrick Henry and Benjamin Franklin, among others, show up to weigh in and mix it up. Alternately sweet and fiery, and as topical as tonight’s newscast, O Beautiful lands the complex realities of our culture squarely on the stage deck in an electrifying blend of ancient characters, founding fathers and your neighborhood high school.

Off Base

The line between nostalgia and reality is compromised as a couple argues over the morality of modern day baseball. While Amanda insists that steroids have tainted America's favorite pastime, Jimmy clings to the glory that the sport once was. Though they both love the game, each must choose between the fantasy of what baseball represents and the politics of what it has become.

Omnium Gatherum

Believing that lively, contentious debate is the heart and soul of a dinner party, a domestic artist and perfect hostess has invited an assortment of opinionated personalities to share a surreal meal.

Open House

Gaby is less than thrilled with Kristin's choice for their new place together: a four story house in Park Slope, Brooklyn. And even with the constant interruptions from other potential buyers, it quickly becomes apparent that they are both looking for different things -- both in a home and in each other.

Our House

The highly remunerated sociopath, a misanthrope named Wes, is a network chieftain who considers news coverage the boring granola he has to offer in order to supply sensation-hungry American audiences with the popcorn fare they’re really interested in. He scorns scripts, and his heart yearns for reality shows that keep ill-assorted human specimens cooped up in expensive cages and train cameras on them as they snarl and weep and stab one another in the back.

Poor Behavior

A drunken late night argument careens out of control, leaving two marriages and four lives in its wake. Set over the course of two demented days in a lovely country house, this crisp, acerbic adult comedy is both wickedly funny and genuinely insightful.

Seminar

Some thrive and others flounder, alliances are made and broken, sex is used as a weapon and hearts are unmoored. The wordplay is not the only thing that turns vicious as innocence collides with experience in this biting Broadway comedy.

Sex with the Censor

A man hires a prostitute but refuses to let her touch him or talk dirty. How does a person have sex without really having sex? A play about the debilitating and distancing consequences of censorship.

Shot sau Comedia relaţiilor

Un text politic sau despre corectitudine politică.

Spike Heels

Pygmalion goes awry in this contemporary comedy of manners which explores sexual harassment, misplaced amour, and the possibility of a four sided love triangle. The combatants are a sexy, volatile young woman and three Back Bay types a writer, a lawyer and a fiancee in sensible shoes. The setting is Boston, the ending is happy and laughter abounds.

Sunday on the Rocks

On a beautiful Sunday morning in mid October, three house mates decide to have scotch for breakfast in this play by the author of Spike Heels, The Family of Mann and Loose Knit. Elly is pregnant and considering an abortion, Jen is being harassed by a co worker who is obsessed with her, and Gayle just feels a bit lost. Their problems are compounded by a fourth roommate, Jessica, a religious young woman who has little compassion for their confused attempts to make sense of life in the nineties. As they drink, joke and argue, it becomes clear how difficult it is to make a moral decision in an increasingly complex world.

The Bells

Despre un om care înnebunește chinuit de amintirile legate de o crimă pe care a comis-o cu ani în urmă.

The Butterfly Collection

A family of artists are both cruelly destructive and fiercely protective of each other. Paul, a Nobel winning novelist suffering from writer's block, his elegant but feisty wife, two sons an actor and an antique dealer and the actor's girlfriend are together for the first time in ages. Enter Paul's new assistant, a talented and passionate writing student. Bitter, funny chaos ensues..

The Family of Mann

A young writer learns that comedy can be a grim business when she gets a job working on a television sitcom. Her colleagues insist that the show is both decent and real while their world descends into a ferocious madness. The Family of Mann hilariously questions who and what are invited into homes when the television is turned on.

The Scene

An actor's frustrations with his busted career spin out of control when he meets a modern-day siren who butchers the language and destroys his world. A comic tragedy that examines the collapse of American culture.

The Understudy

Set in a Broadway theatre, the play takes place during an understudy rehearsal for The Castle a long-lost play by Franz Kafka. The two-man play is currently up and running, starring a famous action movie star named Bruce, who we never see, and a newly minted action movie star named Jake. Jake is Bruce’s understudy, and at the rehearsal in question Jake meets his understudy, Harry, who happens to be the ex-fiance of the stage manager, Roxanne, who is running the rehearsal.

The Water’s Edge

With imagery and heightened emotions, this profound one act leaves the impact of a grand Greek Tragedy. A father comes home after a 17 year absence with his new girlfriend in tow. His wife, displeased and scorned, decides to take matters into her own hands. But what happens when people believe that the only way to heal is to hurt?

View of the Dome

This humor filled tale of political corruption, ingratitude and revenge concerns an idealistic young Washington attorney who persuades her former law professor, a man of lofty rhetoric, to run for Congress. Ideals shrivel in the Washington air as the professor is swept into an insider's circle that includes a leering, power drunk senator and a slinky Southern power broker. When the heroine is snubbed by the politically powerful at a fancy restaurant, her hurt feelings precipitate an all out war. She promotes a sex scandal that unexpectedly makes her the darling of the religious right.

What We’re Up Against

What happens when a group of architects are under the gun to design a new mall, but they can’t figure out where to place the air ducts?

Cronici ale spectacolelor dupa texte de Theresa Rebeck

• 8 scene de Cristiana Gavrilă sursa: Time Out
  Nu am reuşit să număr scenele din care este format spectacolul, aşa că nu vă pot garanta că sunt “opt scene”, dar vă pot spune sigur că nu sunt “obscene”.
  Această precizare este valabilă numai pentru cei care se prind de jocul de cuvinte foarte subtil din titlu... În schimb sunt foarte comice şi cam atât.
  Două fete care vor să câştige bani, una actriţă, cealaltă scriitoare se angajează pentru o perioadă la linia erotică. Scriitoarea compune texte despre fanteziile sexuale ale clienţilor, pe care actriţa le “joacă” la telefon. Iar Theresa Rebeck, autoare piesei, ne vorbeşte despre ciudăţenii sexuale şi perverşi puţin mai inofensivi decât cazurile pe care le auzim la ştirile de la ora cinci, dar mesajul se rezumă doar la atât. Alege o situaţie, pe care aştepţi să o dezvolte, s-o ducă în jurul unui conflict, dar o ţine blocată într-un timp mort.
  Deşi în spectacol aceste lipsuri sunt acoperite prin energia actorilor,

• Eternele neînţelegeri de Oana Stoica sursa: Dilema Veche
  Cînd stai într-un bar, de multe ori ai senzaţia că la mesele vecine se poartă conversaţii incitante sau măcar mai interesante decît cea la care participi tu. Într-o pauză de vorbe, trăgînd cu urechea la discuţia aprinsă de alături, am realizat că efervescenţa nu exclude banalitatea. Femeile vorbesc despre bărbaţi (şi despre alte femei), bărbaţii vorbesc despre femei (şi meciuri, bere, bicle, noul şef şi „proiectul ăla în care mi-am prins urechile“). Nimeni nu schimbă lumea – sau, dacă o face, schimbarea ţine cît beţia –, nu se rezolvă misterele omenirii şi nici nu se găsesc soluţii miraculoase pentru economia mondială. Şi atunci, despre ce vorbesc oamenii într-un bar?
  Shot cuprinde şase piese scurte (schiţe), scrise de către scriitoarea Theresa Rebeck (printre altele, scenaristă şi producătoare a unor episoade din serialele NYPD Blue şi Law & Order: Criminal Intent), special pentru a fi jucate într-un bar. De aici,

• Doamnele serioase şi Shot de Andreea Bibiri sursa: Agenda LiterNet
  După ultimul nostru spectacol cu Shot, un grup de doamne au protestat în faţa teatrului: "Ăsta nu este spectacol pentru doamne serioase".
  M-a întristat şi îngrijorat protestul lor. Nu intenţionez să supăr pe nimeni. Este un text american, scris de o dramaturgă de succes, care tratează teme specifice culturii americane contemporane şi care, mi se pare mie, au relevanţă şi în societatea noastră. Acum, eu ce să fac? Ce-mi dă dreptul să-l cenzurez adaptându-l unor urechi sensibile? Nici nu-mi doresc asta. Cum aş putea să-l interzic celor sub 18 ani (doamnele respective trecuseră bine de tot de venerabila vârstă de 60 de ani)? Prin ce tip de anunţ îl poţi targheta?
  Oare unii oameni decid să se autoinfantilizeze indiferent de vârsta din buletin? Se pare că da. În teatrul independent se presupune că oamenii se exprimă fără cenzură. În spaţiul independent întâlneşti formule de expresie ce nu-şi au locul în spaţiul instituţionalizat.

• Godot, locuinţa mea de vară de Maria Zarnescu sursa: Yorick
  Dragostea modernă se materializează în „relaţii”. Ciudat cum, odată cu schimbarea raportului de influenţă a limbii engleze în detrimentul francezei, vechile „legături”-„liaisons” („dangereuses” sau nu) s-au transformat în „relationships”. Mai familiarizaţi cu cele matematice, de producţie sau, într-o ţară şi un regim de care am avut parte zeci de ani, cu acele „relaţii” adesea indispensabile traiului, ne-am obişnuit, în ultima vreme, a asocia cuvântul şi iubirii. Sau, mai bine zis, convieţuirii. Despre convieţuirea (fostă, actuală sau posibil viitoare) dintre un bărbat şi o femeie (sau mai multe femei) este vorba şi în spectacolul „Shot sau Comedia relaţiilor”. Bazat pe o suită de şase piesete scrise special pentru bar de către Theresa Rebeck (n. 1958), o autoare americană de teatru, proză şi scenarii TV (mai cunoscute la noi – „Lege şi ordine” sau „NYPD Blue”). Şi pus în scenă (iniţial la Teatrul LUNI de
