Dalliance Theater will premiere 8 short plays by 8 up-and-coming playwrights this March in their new collaborationWho is Jordan Bishop? from March 5-14 at Theaterlab on West 14th Street. 8 directors, 8 playwrights and 16 actors will explore our obsession with celebrity and celebrity image in this exciting new play series.

Each play features a two-person cast led by different director. Kent Barrett will design the lights, set, and multimedia aspects of the production. The Cast and Directors will be announced in the coming week. Who Is Jordan Bishop? is produced by Dalliance Theater Artistic Associates Scott Rad Brown and Emily Firth.

Who Is Jordan Bishop? chronicles the meteoric rise and inevitable demise of celebrity gossip monger/part-time rock-god/full-time a-hole Jordan Bishop. Although he remains a shadowy figure throughout the night, the plays use a variety of genres, styles and devices to reveal the man, the myth, the legend one theatrical snapshot at a time.

Most recently, Dalliance produced the world premiere of Eliot Stockton's Refractions at FringeNYC, staged the bar-hopping phenomenon Because of the Economy..., as well as a critically acclaimed production of Strindberg's seldom-staged masterpiece A Dream Play.
