Photo Flash: Howl! Arts Project Premieres SUNKEN LIVING ROOM

Howl! Arts Project presents the New York premiere of THE SUNKEN LIVING ROOM - David Caudle's comic portrait of a sexually naive teenage boy and his family in 1970s Miami - helmed by famed Italian director Enrico Maria Lamanna, with performances September 14, 25 and 26 at 8pm at Theatre 80 (St. Mark's Place).

Set in suburban Miami, Florida in November 1978, THE SUNKEN LIVING ROOM is the story of Wade (Brian Miskell), an effeminate and studious sixteen-year old who is trying to finish a book report for school, and the dysfunctional family who won't leave him alone. His seventeen-year-old brother Chip (MacLeod Andrews), a coke-snorting jock, shows up with his possibly pregnant girlfriend Tammy (Laura Ramadei). Chip hits up Wade for some cash then takes off, leaving Tammy behind. Wade never gets his homework done, but he learns a thing or two about himself from Tammy and about compassion from Chip, when that fearless facade finally cracks.

THE SUNKEN LIVING ROOM runs Tuesday, Sept 14 at 8:00pm; Saturday, Sept 25 at 8:00pm and Sunday, Sept 26 at 8:00pm, as part of the HOWL! ARTS PROJECT 2010 at Theatre 80 (80 St. Mark's Place, between 1st and 2nd Aves). Tickets are $10; www.brownpapertickets.com or call
800-838-3066. Cash only at the door. For more information, visit www.howlfestival.com
