Some readings from the good folks at Reverie Productions. The last two plays to come out of their contest were good: HAVANA BOURGEOIS and PING PONG DIPLOMACY.

Here’s the latest batch (text from their email newsletter):
We’ve got a guy who tatoos advertising on his forehead (Billboard), a funny twist on war profiteering (Your Army), A tour guide imprisoned for burning down his place of employment (Guided Tour), an unwitting moment of racial violence (Luck), and an isolated matriarcal society in the hills of New Jersey (Humans Remain). In other words – fun for the whole family.

All Readings will take place in the Bruce Mitchell Room

at the ART/New York Spaces at 520 8th Avenue (at 36th St) on the 3rd floor.

Admission: Pay What You Can

After a series of sold-out regional productions Mindy Nirenstein brings Robert W. Cabell’s acclaimed one-woman show I, SARAH, to New York for three performances only to launch a national tour. Portraying “The Divine Sarah Bernhardt,” (a title bestowed by Oscar Wilde), Nirenstein presents a warts-and-all look at the woman who was the greatest actress of her generation and, to many, the greatest of all time. Written by Robert W. Cabell and directed by Joe Zingo, the show will be performed at the Where Eagles Dare Theatre, located at 347 West 36th Street, from June 22nd – June 24th.

CHERISH
Wednesday, June 07, 2006 through Sunday, June 25, 2006
(more…)

As many of you have no doubt heard, we here at The Brick are tired of art. We have decided that toiling in obscurity (in Brooklyn, no less) is no longer worth the effort. And so we’ve hit upon the perfect solution: boobs. Any number of them. Money and violence. Drug binges. Name-dropping. Whatever it takes to prove we’re serious about our lack of substance and to get what we really want: money and fame.

There’s no way to put this delicately: we’re selling out.
