Following a successful run last August, ReGroup announces the limited encore run of Preston Jones' Lu Ann Hampton Laverty Oberlander. This standalone play, part on Jones' A TEXAS TRILOGY is a rare and important piece of American Theatre.

There has always been something threatening to kill the theatre. Long before 49 producers were needed to mount a show, reality stars hit the boards, or 42nd Street became Disney-fied... And even long before Andrew Lloyd Webber, the same constant revivals, or premium ticket prices... It was a countless list of other events daring to put the theatre six feet under. The theatre community's constant fear of these other diabolical dilemmas: from the caustic critic, the invention of the automobile, burlesque, union strikes, the 'talkies' and more are cleverly skewered as only Moss Hart & George S. Kaufman could in The Fabulous Invalid. Their 1938 'valentine' to the theatre's resilience is the first reading in ReGroup Theatre's new monthly series 'ReGroup Reads: The Greatest American Playwrights.'

ReGroup's production of A Texas Trilogy by Preston Jones concludes its initial run Sunday Aug 24th at McAlpin Hall, 165 W 86th St. Check out the production photos below!

Connecting Creativity is an exciting venture created by the Break-Away Project to test the boundaries of technology in the theatrical sphere, using Skype to facilitate artistic collaborations between Irish and American artists that would otherwise not be feasible.

As part of its mission, the Break-Away Project works toward creating links between Irish and American artists, regularly showcasing work by American artists here in Ireland and developing showcase opportunities for Irish artists in America. The project also encourages the creation of new material and continue to create opportunities for new work to be showcased and developed. Check out what this year's participants had to say about the experience and process below!
