CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE & SHOE Opens at Producer's Club 11/12

Confessions of a Plate & Shoe - An Evening of Outrageous Short Comedies by Josh McIlvain opens November 12, 2008 and runs through November 16, 2008, at the Producers' Club Theater at Crowne Theater, 358 West 44th Street, New York.

Confessions of a Plate & Shoe brings together 16 of Josh McIlvain's funniest short plays into a single show. Featuring many of Josh's best received and previously produced plays as well as several world premieres, the show stars some of New York's best comedic actors including Nicola Barber, Kevin Lyons, Josh Lay, and Jesse Teeters. Director duties are split by previous McIlvain collaborators Deborah Wolfson, director 2006's NYC fringe hit "Williamsburg: The Musical," and Chris Czyz, assistant director of Primary Stage's Off Broadway show "Something You Did".

Josh McIlvain's plays examine the disturbing absurdities of everyday life and the everyday life of the disturbingly absurd. Confessions of a Plate & Shoe ranges from the title piece about a real shoe trying to make friends with a real plate to a wife who finds her husband brought the wrong baby home from day care to a middle-aged man who seeks solace after discovering his mother in a recently made internet porno. But for Josh it takes more than a silly situation to really get an audience going. He gets the most humor from his characters—creating people audiences recognize from their own experiences and whom they don't expect to see on stage.

Tickets are available at the door or at Ticket Leap ($10 on the 12th, $15 all other nights). The running time approximately 90 minutes with one intermission.
