Women's Project Theater, under the leadership of new Producing Artistic Director Lisa McNulty and Interim Executive Producer Jessica R. Jenen has announced the four plays in its 2014-15 season, continuing the theater's 37 year commitment to producing the finest work by women in the theater. Beginning in October, WP Theater's season will include new work by Cori Thomas (My Secret Language of Wishes), directed by Daniella Topol (Charles Ives take Me Home, Row After Row); Kate Benson (Lee Miller), directed by Lee Sunday Evans (The Play About My Dad); Tanya Barfield (The Call, Blue Door), directed by Leigh Silverman (Violet--Tony Nominee, Chinglish, Well), and Laura Eason (Sex With Strangers, "House of Cards"), directed by Kirsten Kelly (Slipping).
Sex in a title is an eye-catching titillation guaranteed to attract an audience. I had never seen It's Just Sex originally, so I thought, 'OMG, let's do it - no pun intended - and be done with it'. Is it about sex for the sake of sex or what? Hardly. The play is not a parody of the porn industry or about consistently rampant promiscuity. Not that there's isn't sex involved or that the actors are not appealing. It is and they are, but, in the long run , there is much, much more. In fact, you leave the theatre gaining more from it than you expected, going in. It's Just Sex had an 11-year run in LA before it spent a year off-Broadway; now it returns with a brand-spanking new and electric cast to the Secret Rose Theatre for continued fun, games and plenty of food for thought, through October 26.

Domenica 16 febbraio alle ore 11.30 il teatro Sistina aprira le porte a Mrs. Sara Spelling una imprevedibile e originale maestra di inglese della scuola elementare di Fumbleland, ossessionata dagli errori di spelling dei suoi allievi. Nel suo mondo fantastico, ogni volta che un bambino commette un errore nello scrivere una parola … nasce un Fumble: un esserino dispettoso e impertinente che incarna l'errore commesso. Per correggere i compiti dei suoi allievi, la folle Mrs Spelling e dunque impegnata in vorticose e spericolate 'cacce ai Fumbles', in compagnia di Sam the mouse-dog, Penny Pennetta e infine, del suo allievo Elio.
