Eisenman – "Henry & Hyde"Mark LaPierre -- "The Moon"Raymond Bokhour – "Stranded!"Dray Rigg – "Daffodils in Deutschland"Michael Paul Girard – "The Dependents" A Carmen Miranda opening night party is again in the works with a major "bad" celebrity to be presented with the Honorary Golden Pineapple. Co-chairing this event are playwright Jean Hart and administrative assistant Kimberly Kopera. Closing night brings presentation of the Fruit Cup Awards: Golden Pineapple, Silver Tomato, and Bronze Banana (by audience vote). New this year will be a Best Bad Actor Award. This festival is supported by grants from the Dramatists Guild Fund and the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs. Proceeds go to support our dedicated mission of taking professional theatre to under-served audiences throughout NYC and the Northeast.
