Eccentric Theater Company Presents SPIKE HEELS

Eccentric Theater Company announces the upcoming production of Spike Heels by Theresa Rebeck. Performances will take place on Friday, April 12 at 8pm; Saturday, April 13 at 8pm; and Sunday, April 14 at 7pm at The Loft at The Union County Performing Arts Center (1601 Irving St, Rahway, NJ).

Spike Heels is a provocative comedy-drama that explores the power play between the sexes, the American class system, feminism, sex, and the possibility of a four-sided love affair. This updated take on Pygmalion by award-winning writer Theresa Rebeck deftly explores class and gender politics as the four characters battle their way through the unintended consequences of their morally ambiguous choices. Spike Heels features Jack Mustard, Veronica Shea, Robert Stevens and Nicole Elizabeth Zimmerman.

Advance tickets are $15 (until 30 minutes prior to show), and tickets are $20 at the door.

Eccentric Theater Company (Producer) Eccentric Theater Company (ETC.) is a collection of artists dedicated to pushing the boundaries of a standard theater company. We believe that the lines between different facets of art are currently too rigid, and we aspire to create a space where an audience member can experience a play, a jazz club, an art gallery, and sometimes all three at the same time! Started by a mother and daughter duo, ETC. combines the fast-paced nature of professional artistic work with the warm environment of community theater to produce skillful art created with love. We want you to feel at home every time you come and join us, whether you are coming to a rehearsal, attending a performance, or simply emailing us ideas for a future project. ETC. aims to bridge the gap between New York City and New Jersey artists. We plan to use spaces throughout New York City and northern New Jersey that best fit the feel of each piece of art we create. We hope you will follow us on the journey of discovering new forums of art while uncovering new spaces. ETC. not only stands for Eccentric Theater Company, but also for etcetera. There are no limits to what etcetera can stand for, and there are no limits to the types of art we hope to produce. If you can create it, we want to showcase it.
