MRS. MURRAY’S MENAGERIE 🐻🐱 • This is Gloria. She is my favorite character in this piece, played by the brilliant Stephanie Wright Thompson. Gloria is extremely insecure yet she can’t not say what she thinks. She is intimidated by the other parents on this focus group for kids’ TV show, yet she shows up for this socially awkward and exhausting experience. • The Office style comedy where the joke is on us as a racist, materialistic and patriarchal society. • 💬Favorite quote: “This is important but irritating” • ✅Bechdel test: passed • 📝Created by The Mad Ones • 🎯Directed by Lila Neugebauer • @arsnovanyc @themadonesarchive #theatrenerd #theatrelife #comedy #offbroadway #nyctheatre #nyc #nightout #theatre #liveshow #arsnova #mrsmurraysmenagerie
CURSE OF THE STARVING CLASS🐑 • The kitchen falling apart is how we know it’s show time. The whole thing literally gets destroyed in front of the audience, giving some clues about what’s it like to live in this house. Social mobility isn’t really a thing for the starving class, “starting over” is not a concept for kids who’s only goal in life is to miraculously find food in the fridge or skillfully stay away from dad’s whipping. • 💬FAVORITE QUOTES • 🔸”I like it down there, they don’t speak English “. 🔸”Everything was alright until you came here. I was talking to myself and everything was alright “. • ✅Bechdel test: passed • 📝Play by Sam Shepard 🎯Directed by Terry Kinney #theatrelife #stagelife #nyctheatre #curseofthestarvingclass #samshepard #nyctheatre @playbill @signaturetheatre #socialmobility #poverty #socialjustice
THE PAIN OF MY BELLIGERENCE 🦌 • This one isn’t easy to watch. A detailed description of an abusive relationship between a young journalist and an older married man. As the play progresses she becomes more and more dependent on him and slowly cuts everyone else from her life. • I appreciate the way the writer (and star) tells us that it can happen to anyone. Even if you have a stable job and a bright future ahead of you. And that there is always light at the end of the tunnel even if it’s a really long one. • 💬FAVORITE QUOTES: 🔸-I like you. -You don’t know me. -That’s what I like about you. I can project anything I want on you. 🔸I’m not upset this is just my life. • ✅Bechdel test: passed • 📝Play by Halley Feiffer 🎯Directed by Trip Cullman • #painofmybelligerence #halleyfeiffer #tripcullman @phnyc #phnyc #nyctheatre #nyctheater #nyc #offbroadway #nightout #stagelife #theatrelife #endviolenceagainstwomen #metoo
DO YOU FEEL ANGER? 😡 • An empathy expert is hired to teach empathy in a debt collecting office with a toxic environment. • This play starts as a comedy but then takes a very dark turn. Ladies, if you are sick of douchebags in real life and would rather take a break from them on a night out in the theatre - you might want to avoid this play. It has some very disturbing scenarios... we’ve all been there. • This play is about the toll women pay in order for them to be in the workforce and about the emotional burden it requires. • 💬FAVORITE QUOTES: 🔸I’m Jordan, it’s a pleasure for you to meet me. 🔸this is a great work environment, we have maternity leave now! We let women leave when they are giving birth! • ✅Bechdel test: passed • 📝Play by Mara Nelson-Greenberg 🎯Directed by Margot Bordelon • #offbroadway #doyoufeelanger #vineyardtheatre #nyctheatre #bechdeltest #nyc #debt #feminism #empathy #office #9to5 #womenintheatre
LIFE SUCKS 🍭 • Modern adaptation to one of my favorite plays of all times - Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. • The breaking of the 4th wall to check in with the audience and ask for our opinion was fun! • 💬FAVORITE QUOTES: 🔸“Semiotics”...? that’s the study of big trucks? 🔸-you’re looking lovely, did you cut your hair? -yes, just over two years ago 🔸you can’t make someone love you... ok maybe YOU can. 🔸I took a hard look at my life and so far I’ve done everything wrong. • ✅Bechdel test: passed • 📝Play by Aaron Posner 🎯Directed by Jeffrey Wise • #lifesucksplay #offbroadway #nyctheatre #theatrenerd #chekhov #antonchekhov #unclevanya #alphabetcity #wildproject #nyc @wheelhousetheater
Happy Purim y’all 🎲 א פריילעכן פורים 👻 #purim #purim2019 #hamentashen #queenesther #megilan #jewyork
IF PRETTY HURTS UGLY MUST BE A MUHFUCKA 🌊 • Akim is the most beautiful human being in her village and that brings upon her all the haters. Her parents insist that she stays home all day while her ugly friends are allowed out. She longs to find out what’s it like to be normal and ugly. • There is an extremely moving musical number in the middle of the show - huge bonus!!! • 💬FAVORITE QUOTES: 🔸He said: ‘you’re not the kind that catches and man’s eyes but once you open your mouth you become very attractive’. Then he waits. As if he just handed me a missing piece of puzzle in my life. 🔸Beauty is neither an accomplishment nor a failure. Find something else to be proud of. 🔸He’s one of those kids who hug the trees and then smoke them. 🔸God of the Obamas! Take my beauty away! • ✅Bechdel test: passed • 📝Play by Tori Sampson 🎯Directed by Leah C. Gardiner • 💃🏾Choreographed by Raja Feather Kelly • @phnyc @playbill @timeoutnewyork #ifprettyhurts #ifprettyhurtsuglymustbeamuhfucka #playwrightshorizons #offbroadway #theatrenerd #beauty #beautiful #beautifulwomen #beautifulgirls #fatshaming #blackhistorymonth #dontjudgemechallenge #dontjudgeabookbyitscover #feminism #nyctheater #bechdeltest

GOD SAID THIS 😇 • Mother is diagnosed with cancer but she is also the glue that holds the family together. Every day another person from the Carcinoma Facebook group dies, so that’s not very comforting, to say the least. • At first it seems like each character deals with it in their own way but as we get to know them better we find that they all try to escape. Be it smoking, hoarding or clinging to God. • 💬FAVORITE QUOTES: 🔸”I’m the smartest person I know”. 🔸”I don’t miss her much, may she rest in hell”. 🔸”I get so lonely here by myself with my family“. 🔸”Of course you can’t see the light, because YOU are the light”. • ✅Bechdel test: passed • 📝Play by Leah Nenako Winkler 🎯Directed by Morgan Gould • @primarystages @cherrylntheatre @playbill #offbroadway #nyctheatre #nyctheatre #nyctheater #theatrenerd #japaneseamerican #japanese #cancer #womenintheatre #cherrylane #familydrama #hospitallife #chemo #chemotherapy
