MAY, JUNE, JULY 2010 THEATRE LISTINGS:

CIRCUMCISE ME
Comedy
45 Bleecker Street Theatre
Currently Running
Closes July 4, 2010
He's just your average Irish, Italian Catholic kid from Philly, Comic Actor, Sober Alcoholic, Recovering Drug Addict, Husband, Father, Reform, Conservative, Unorthodox, Orthodox Jew. His name is Yisrael Campbell, (the artist formerly known as Christopher), and this is his story-a spiritual journey stretching across four decades, two continents, and three circumcisions. It's that rare collision of comedy and theater that will have women howling with laughter, men squirming in their seats, and everyone standing up to cheer. Poignant, provocative, and powerfully witty, Circumcise Me is the true-and truly unforgettable-story of a man who was born to be funny. The Jewish part came later.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE: Thursday @ 8, Sundays @ 4 & 7 PM.

Danny
A comedy with drama buried six feet under written and directed by Andrew Rothkin.
Every April 26th, this motley group of old college friends gathers for food, laughter, stories and songs, and to honor their gifted Danny...all by the side of his grave. This year, their sweet celebration will be rocked to its core. And so will each of them.

Cake
It's 1999 and pundit Dana Dunnigan is on the left's most-hated list. But she never expected to be subdued by a poisoned shoulder pad and a crossbow-wielding queer. What's more, she's kidnapped. Whether her captors are delusional or brilliant, Dana's in for a showdown with her politics - and her past.

The Green Knight
A contemporary adaptation of the Athurian legend takes us sweepingly across America from a tiny Texan town to New York City. Instead of a grail, a beast, or vengeance, our modern hero seeks the thrilling discovery of his own fragmented identity

Are you there Zeus, It's me Electra
Electra is angry, ruthless and hell bent on revenge. Too bad she's only 16... Electra is determined to avenge her father Agamemnon's death. Unfortunately, she's powerless. a teenager stuck at home with nothing but a Greek chorus that just won't go away. She will need to band together with her long-lost brother Orestes, their dim-witted sister Chrysothemis, their trusted friend Pylades, and a torrent of raging hormones to set her plot for revenge in motion. But will vengeance lead to happiness? Why does puberty have to be so tragic?
