HEIST, arguably the funniest new play ever written in English, will have its World Premiere Wednesday, June 11th  at the Sargent Theatre ( 314 West 54th Street – between Eighth & Ninth Avenues ).  The play's limited run will end on Saturday, June 28th.
 
Preview Performances begin Friday, June 6th and continue through Sunday, June 8th.
 
Written by Paul Cohen and directed by Kris Thor HEIST is being produced by Elfqueen Productions, a production company formed by Columbia graduates for Columbia graduates and of Columbia graduates.  Not only is this group extremely amusing but they are also highly educated.

HEIST concerns the logistical problems experienced by a pack of thieves on the night they intend to rob a jewelry store that is inconveniently located behind a small theatre that is opening a one-woman show.  Because the show is about the exquisite results of politically-correct clitoral explosions, the diamond burglars need to time their dynamite blasts with the star's org*sms.  Not an easy feat.  
 
HEIST clearly points out the sagacity of waiting for a woman to climax.
 
HEIST stars Amanda Boekelheide,  Jeff Clarke,  Rachel Jablin,  Christopher Ryan Richards and Tracy Weller.
 
The Scenic Design is by Mr. Thor.   The Lighting Design is by Lucrecia Briceno. The Costume Design is by Michelle Koch.
 
The music is by Frank Sinatra and DUKE ELLINGTON.
 
Mr. Thor has been given the task of designing the detonation of all explosive materials both destructive and vaginal.
