In a shabby New England motel, 3 members of a NY theatre group have arrived with a scheme. As the evening darkens and unravels...so do their ambitions and secrets. This dark comedy--from Pulitzer-nominee Adam Rapp (Red Light Winter, Nocturne) is a visceral, provocative, oddball piece about a group of artists desperately trying to force a place for themselves, and how far they will go to get what they want. This West-Coast premiere marks the debut of Rogue Machine's ?Off the Clock,' a late-night series of bold, taut, intoxicating theatrical concoctions for the artistically daring crowd.
Closing Aurora Theatre Company's 17th season is the Bay Area Premiere of Bob Glaudini's (A View from 151st Street) Off-Broadway hit JACK GOES BOATING.

JACK GOES BOATING plays at the Aurora Theatre in Berkeley June 12 through July 19
