BARBICIDE Receives Off-Broadway Run At The Historic Players Theatre
By: Kelsey Denette
Barbicide, the site-specific production currently staged in a vintage New York City barbershop, is set to premiere Off-Broadway at The Historic Players Theatre this October.
Performing to sold out audiences since May, The Theatre Project has been developing the play through a series of developmental readings. Barbicide tells the story of a barber in 1960s Queens who has just been released from prison after being framed by a local mob boss. The final reading in the series will be at 8:30PM on Wednesday, June 20th at Moustache Tonsorial, located at 55 Greenwich Avenue between Charles and Perry Street.
The Theatre Project will present the World Premiere production of Barbicide, written by Sean Pomposello and Directed by Christian Amato, at The Players Theatre for a limited run this upcoming October. Barbicide is a delicious mélange of beat poetry and hard boiled patois, with just a dash of Mafioso mythology. It’s a whole new twist on Fleet Street.
