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.
