This fall, Oddfellows Playhouse presents 'Alice in Wonderland', the children's classic with a contemporary twist. Fall down the rabbit hole into a whole new land where reason is turned upside down and the rules are as slippery as a Cheshire cat's grin. Journey along as we go under, over and out again in this production. Memorable characters, topsy-turvy language and the question of what do we do when nonsense rules propels this visit to Wonderland.
Once upon a time there was a play that showcased fairy tale motifs and iPhones, dollhouses and GPS directional systems. This is Flux Theatre Ensemble's production of Kristen Palmer's world premiere play "Once Upon A Bride There Was A Forest," now running at the 4th Street Theatre. The logic behind the odd juxtaposition of these parallel universes remains a puzzle to me, as does the rest of the play's content. With direction by Heather Cohn, however, the ensemble in Flux's production manages to surpass the bizarre material that they are tasked with performing.
Flux Theatre Ensemble will present the World Premiere of Kristen Palmer's (The Stray Dog with Rising Phoenix; Departures with Blue Coyote) ONCE UPON A BRIDE THERE WAS A FOREST, today, December 6-20 at the 4th Street Theatre (83 East 4th Street between 2nd Avenue and Bowery).
Below, check out a brand new trailer for "Journey of a Bombshell: The Ina Ray Hutton Story", written and performed by Melissa Ritz and directed and developed by Julie Kline, running through November 17, 2014 at Theatre Row (410 West 42nd Street) as part of the 2014 United Solo Theatre Festival!
