The Ultimate Stimulus, a one-act play by Felipe Ossa, is an official selection of FringeNYC. The show will play at Celebration of Whimsy (C.O.W.) Theater (21-A Clinton St. NYC 10002) from August 8th - 24thwith specific dates TBA. Tickets ($13-24) will be available at www.fringenyc.org.

Amanda McCloud is a renegade economist with a plan to fix America's most pressing problem: income inequality. Her solution? Master-concubine arrangements (with a modern twist). Brimming with data, charts, and dramatic life-changing stories, this TED-inspired, multi-media talk proves that the rich aren't so different when they're forced to get close - real close - to the rest of us.
