The Bridge Theatre Company presents a workshop presentation of The Swearing Jar by Kate Hewlett (Humans Anonymous) March 19 and 20, 2010 at Shetler Studios Penthouse 1 (244 West 54th St.).
The Swearing Jar is a smart new comedy about marriage, music, migraines...and swearing. Simon and Carey are the perfect couple. But when Carey performs at Simon's fortieth birthday celebration, she is forced to come to terms with the greatest lie her husband ever told.
The workshop will reunite director Rosemary Andress and actor Esther Barlow from last year's New York Innovative Theatre Awards-nominated play Universal Robots. Rounding out the cast are
Christopher Stanton, Vincent Nappo and Mimi Quillan.
Performances of The Swearing Jar run March 19 and 20, 2010 at 8:00 pm at Penthouse 1 at Shetler Studios (244 W 54th St., between Broadway and 8th Ave., Subway: C/E to 50th St.; 1 or B/D to 59th St./Columbus Circle).
Admission is a suggested donation of $10. Reservations are recommended. To reserve a seat, E-mail rsvp@thebridgetheatrecompany.com.
Founded in 2004, The Bridge Theatre Company is a New York City-based ensemble of Canadian and American theatre artists dedicated to the cross-border development, workshop and production of new plays. The company examines the relationship between these two contemporary theatrical cultures through the work of emerging playwrights, actors and directors. Through its New Play Development program, the Bridge accepts a wide variety of script submissions from writers in the United States and Canada, hoping to discover and develop new plays that may examine everything from the bridges between two nations to the bridges between two people.
