SEARCHING FOR SOULA- One actress... Six women... Life, love, and a lasting friendship that trumps it all. Irene's life is full of surprises-and a dog collar around her blind date's neck is just the beginning. She relies on her best friend, Soula, to help her through; but when Soula's wild spirit crumbles, Irena has to step in. She picks up some unexpected life lessons along the way from Soula and the women who touch Soula's life. Irena, a chick from Queens, comes to understand one simple truth: "You have to live your life balls out or the Buddha is gonna make you come back and do it again."

Between the Seas Festival was founded by Aktina Stathaki in 2010 to familiarize North American audiences with the latest developments in the performing arts from participating Mediterranean countries, and give emergent artists from the Mediterranean and the Mediterranean Diaspora the opportunity to present their work in an international event that encourages artistic exchange. The festival's inaugural season runs from August 29th to September 4th 2011 at the Wild Project (195 East 3rd street). For information visit www.betweentheseas.org
