World Premiere of Posing Comes to The New Theatre Project 7/5-24

The much anticipated world premiere of Posing by Jason Sebacher comes to The New Theatre Project stage July 5-24. Pay-what-you-can preview performances take place July 5-7 at 8 pm and regular performances play Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 8 pm through July 24.

Posing is the story of two men meeting: each running from his past, each escaping his present, and each keeping an impossible secret. They are bound together for days with the mutual goal of using each other for sex and drugs, until they confront the consequences of trying to stay young forever.

Posing contains strong language, simulated sex, drug use, and nudity. No one under the age of eighteen will be admitted without a parent or guardian.

A special staged reading of A Florentine Tragedy (After Oscar Wilde) will play for one day only on Saturday, July 16 as a prologue to Posing. This short play is an adaptation of a fragment of a play by Wilde, never completed. Sebacher takes the fragments of Wilde's lost words to create a unique prologue to the play he inspired.

A Florentine Tragedy (After Oscar Wilde) is a theatrical story of lust, revenge, and letting go of past loves. A man--the toast of the British stage--has been humiliated and exiled to France, where, while waiting in vain to die, he finds that art truly does mirror life. Or is it the other way around?

Posing features Evan Mann and Ben Stange under the direction of Keith Paul Medelis, who also serves as the designer. A Florentine Tragedy features Mann, Stange, and Medelis under the direction of Elise Randall.

Tickets are $15, and students/seniors/industry tickets are $10 (cash or check only). Tickets can be reserved by calling or texting The New Theatre Project box office at (734) 645-9776 or emailing tickets@thenewtheatreproject.org.
