MAMMOTH is a poetic and seriously funny new play about love and destruction, invoking the nostalgia of science and the hard data of the human heart. At a moment in time where we can envision our own extinction, this atmospheric new play by Adam R. Burnett will meditate upon why we destroy what we love - from the personal to the universal - and once vanished, what compels us to revive what we've lost.

A look at life's lessons are at the core of the one-man play 'I of the Storm.' A one-man play is a tough act. Many have attempted it. Not all succeed. The latter is not the case with 'I of the Storm' - a spectacular show that takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery.

I of the Storm, a new solo riff written by RJ Bartholomew and performed by Richard Hoehler is making its New York premiere in a limited 8-week engagement at The Playroom Theater (151 West 46th Street - just east of Broadway). Directed by Janice L. Goldberg, performances began on March 7th. The show officially opens tonight, March 17th, and continues through April 29th. Deep End Productions is producing.

The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis' artistic director, Steven Woolf, always has a knack for finding a classic, sometimes a neglected one, to present each season. This year it's Terence Rattigan's revered play THE WINSLOW BOY, which some will remember from various revivals and film versions (1948 & 1999), and which stands out as a dramatic piece fraught with injustice. It's a story, based on fact, that is still as relevant today as it was when it was written. A splendid cast and keenly sharpened direction combine to provide a very compelling piece of theatre.

Like the blockbuster hit about a misunderstood green witch from the West, 'The Woodsman' at 59E59 Theaters introduces audiences to a lesser-known tale from the land of Oz. The production relies heavily on visual spectacle to tell the story of a young woodsman who falls in love with a slave girl, only to be punished by the Wicked Witch of the East, who bewitches his ax to befell his limbs one-by-one until all that remains is tin. Written by James Ortiz and co-directed by Ortiz and Claire Karpen (who is concurrently performing as Cinderella in another forest-centric production of 'Into the Woods' at Roundabout Theatre Company), 'The Woodsman' is a creative delight and distinctive in its use of non-verbal storytelling. The forest in these woods has a very natural feel, as the ensemble employs real branches on the stage. Yet Ortiz's incorporation of his original puppetry designs in the shows adds a mystical element.

Rachel Reiner Productions will present the World Premiere of Victor L. Cahn's Villainous Company, directed by Eric Parness.
