Rebel Collective Theatre and Slant Theatre Project will present Craig Clary's THE CLASSROOM in FringeNYC starting Aug. 14. The play tells the story of a group of young paralegals who find themselves in a strange limbo between their devil-may-care adolescence and a corporate world of responsibilities. They'll use any means possible - eating contests, Sudoku tournaments, computerized talking monkeys - to keep things interesting.
The central figure of Diana Amsterdam's tragedy of manners is a young, terminally ill accountant named Paul (Ted Caine) who spends most of the evening silently lying in a hospital bed surrounded by a carnival of denial. Unable to communicate, it's unclear how much of his wife, Sheila's (Christine Rowan), mask of perkiness he must endure as she forces positive energy into the room with plans for their future and uses an annoyingly motherly tone to praise the fact that he ate a whole half a banana today and kept it all down.
First-time playwright Tommy Nohilly seems intent on ramming edgy family dysfunctions in the audience's faces with Blood From A Stone. Unfortunately there's no play underneath to support it all. Director Scott Elliott and The New Group do a heck of a good job covering up the flaws of the text most of the time, but the nearly three hours of animosity and head-banging symbolism can't help looking very silly now and then, despite the skilled ensemble.
This winter, Diana Amsterdam's Carnival Round the Central Figure brings the macabre back to New York City. In a staging by Karen Kohlhaas reminiscent of the carnal exorbitance of carnivale's heyday, featuring a cast of characters pulled straight from the murky depths of the human psyche. Carnival is a hilarious, bizarre, and poignant story of the meaning of death, of dying with dignity, and the ancient dilemma of living for a life after death. Presented by IRT Theater (Kori Rushton, Artistic Director).
