The Skeleton Rep to Stage WATCHAMACALLIT: A PLAY ABOUT JESUS
The Skeleton Rep announces its first production of 2016, WATCHAMACALLIT: A PLAY ABOUT JESUS running from April 28th - May 8th at The Secret Theatre in Long Island City.
In WATCHAMACALLIT: A PLAY ABOUT JESUS, written by Emily Claire Schmitt and directed by Ria T. DiLullo, Vanessa is simply minding her own business when the strange girl from school who claims to be a mystic declares her the next Virgin Mary. After punching said mystic in the face, she lands herself in weekly detention with Sister Florence, the last remaining nun on campus. Both women get more than they bargained for as miracles begin popping up at highly inconvenient times. Is it possible that Vanessa is the sign from Heaven that Florence is waiting for? Faith, fantasy, and farce collide in this irreverent comedy.
WATCHAMACALLIT: A PLAY ABOUT JESUS is the first production of 2016, produced by THE SKELETON REPRATORY COMPANY. Founded in 2015 by Ria T. DiLullo, The Skeleton Rep is a New York based group of theater artists whose goal is to apply the ideas and tactics of the "canon" - any canon - to an "American" narrative, in any way that an American story can be told.
The production features Miranda Poett, Elizabeth Scopel, Hannah Jane Ginsberg, Regina Strayhorn, Claire Buckingham, Courtney McClellan, Charlotte Pines, Natalie McDonald, Jasmine Stiefel, and Miranda Stephens.
