Meet Heather Wahl and Speranza Theatre Company & Unveiling Liberty

Name: Heather Wahl

What is your current project? Unveiling Liberty

Where are you performing your show and why is it a good fit for your production?

Speranza is performing this show for the community and school in the tri-state area in honor of Women’s History Month. We are a women’s theatre company and are thrilled to share the story of the 1886 unveiling of the Statue of Liberty set against the suffragist movement happening at that time.

Any advice for your peers?

Figure out WHY you are doing the work – any work you do – and the challenges will become stepping stones.

Meet Lucie Pohl & Apohlcalypse Now!

Name: Lucie Pohl

What is your current project? Lucie Pohl: Apohlcalypse Now!

Where are you performing your show and why is it a good fit for your production?

Under St. Mark’s Theater at 94 St. Mark’s Place NYC. Apohlcalypse Now! is a show I wrote after an avalanche of disasters exploded into my life over the course of about 2 years and what I tried to do is grab the audience and throw hurl them onto a roller coaster ride with me. Under St. Mark’s is the perfect space to do that; the moment the audience climbs down those stairs and steps through the door they are already on a journey with you. Under St. Mark’s is not only as intimate as my show but also as gritty, real and unmistakably New York. I cherish this theater since it is one of the last of its kind in the city and hearkens back to a time where you could fall down a manhole on Bowery and land in the most amazing performance you have ever seen.

What’s next for you?

In late May I will be brining a show to the Cherry Lane Studio which I am very excited about, I’m working on a film script and am doing lots of stand up all over town.

What is the name of the last show you saw?

Latin History for Morons at the Public

Any advice for your peers?

Work hard. Be nice.

Review by Nick Radu: Deconstruction

The Storm Theatre Company kicked off its 20th season with the world premiere of Jonathan Leaf’s play, Deconstruction.

Upon stepping into The Theatre at Grand Hall at St. Mary’s Parish you couldn’t help but notice Scenic Designer Shannon Kavanagh’s intricate set.  With a wall of books as the backdrop, and many more strewn along the steps, you knew a play about ideas and academics was about to take place.  The stage was literally set for literary critic and theorist, Paul de Man (Jed Peterson) and novelist, Mary McCarthy (Fleur Alys Dobbins) to take the stage. Perhaps the story got lost in the ideas.

While the playing space was set up well and interesting to look at, the echo and reverberation was a bit off-putting, especially when the actors were all the way upstag which took some getting used to.

Director Peter Dobbins’ wonderful staging took place on different levels, giving the actors options and the audience a much-needed variety in such an expository play.  The change between the Rhode Island set and the Greenwich Village set, however, could have been a little more pronounced and done in a timelier fashion.

Peterson’s portrayal of de Man was hard, calculated and guarded, while being friendly and charismatic when necessary.  He was captivating to watch, especially his last moments when no dialogue was needed.

Dobbins brought a youthful and whimsical attitude to Mary, while encompassing the aspect of “fighting the aging ingénue” her character possessed.  She did, however, seem to be trying a little too hard at times, playing at the truth rather than living in it, which robbed the audience of the endearing and comical moments that were few and far between.

Karoline Fischer, with her commanding stage presence, rounded out the cast playing Hannah Arendt.  Unfortunately, her voice did not match her stature, so dialogue was lost.

The play itself is very heady and wordy.  It is  difficult to connect to characters that cheat, lie and circumvent truths without really introducing endearing qualities and humanism.  Though, it could be argued that that is the purpose of a play titled: Deconstruction.  Deconstruction as a literary thought involves stories that intertwine with one another, are related, and yet are inherently opposite and contradictory to one another.  The play achieves this: stories that are intertwined, related and contradictory. Whether this concept in a play adds or detracts to the story is in the eye of each audience member.

Hannah states in the play that the one thing missing in Martin Heidegger’s theories is love.  There is no true connection in humanity; therefore, there are no real connections in the play?  Perhaps.

If anything, this play makes one think, or at least the very least, research these characters to understand their motivations, their connections and their end games.

Deconstruction runs through March 25th  

Grand Hall (at St. Mary’s Parish), 440 Grand Street, New York, NY 10002

Meet Irina Abraham & The (Last) Station

Name: Irina Abraham

What is your current project? The (Last) Station – a play based on an avant garde text by Eugene Myzica

Where are you performing your show and why is it a good fit for your production?

We are starting our play off at Dixon Place on April 7th. We are a company that relies on venues and festivals that welcome experimentation and open their doors to young theatre companies that are building their audiences and are constantly searching for their own unique theatre language. The spirit of adventure, constant artistic search and dedication to the process are all of utmost importance in our work. We feel that Dixon Place and the audience it attracts are in tune with our vision.

What’s next for you?

We are preparing to perform at The Planet Connections Festival. This venue will be very different from Dixon Place main stage. We are always excited to adjust our shows for different spaces and learn from the feedback we receive. Each new venue is a new adventure.

What is the name of the last show you saw?

Last Work by Batsheva Dance Company. What was most fascinating is how dance affects the audience in a very direct and emotional way bypassing the intellect. The show was both meditative and passionate. It was very inspiring to watch and learn from this company.

Any advice for your peers?

Have fun. The moment you feel this whole theater/film business is turning into endless heavy lifting and a source of stress, take a pause, breath in and think of where the joy could have gone. Find it. Keep playing.

Meet Benjamin Viertel & The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant

Photo Credits: Bryce Cutler
Photo Credits: Bryce Cutler

Name: Benjamin Viertel

What is your current project? The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant

Where are you performing your show and why is it a good fit for your production?

The play is being performed at The New Ohio Theatre and it’s a great fit because it’s in the heart of the gay neighborhood of Chelsea. The play centers on a complex relationship between three women. The New Ohio is the home for the downtown, experimental theater and our production fits in that world perfectly.

What’s next for you?

I’m developing a new musical during a residency at People’s Improv Theater in April as well as releasing Season Two of our company’s webseries, [Blank] My Life. I’m also directing Crimes of The Heart outside of Rochester this summer and directing our company’s new musical Grindr The Musical in Italy.

What is the name of the last show you saw?

Beardo by Pipeline Theater Company

Any advice for your peers?

“It’s a marathon, not a race.” As of now, I’m very excited about the works I get to develop and create. I chose theatre as my life’s work because I enjoy collaborating with artists, and getting to do that is the ultimate goal (not comparing myself to my peers). The other piece of advice I can offer is the same piece of advice I received some years ago from two great directors, Michael Rau and Kim Weild, while at the Kennedy Center, “direct every single day.” Which essentially means, practice your craft every single day of your life. Never give up practicing. Since I’m not yet fortunate enough to be in the rehearsal room every single day, I’ve had to define what ‘practice’ means to me. I recommend all aspiring directors to practice every single day. Finally, directing is not only about what you do ‘in’ the room, but also how to get ‘into’ the room. Directing is not only creative but also a test of your resourcefulness.

Review by Nick Radu: Broken Bone Bathtub

NEW YORK – SUNDAY NEWS: Brooklyn artist Siobhan O’Loughlin inside of her most recent performance space, Astoria, Queens, NY, Friday, January 27, 2017. Using a stranger’s bathtub as her performance space, O’Loughlin performs an interactive show naked called, “Broken Bone Bathtub,” . PICTURED: (Angel Chevrestt, 646.314.3206)
NEW YORK – SUNDAY NEWS: Brooklyn artist Siobhan O’Loughlin inside of her most recent performance space, Astoria, Queens, NY, Friday, January 27, 2017. Using a stranger’s bathtub as her performance space, O’Loughlin performs an interactive show naked called, “Broken Bone Bathtub,” . PICTURED: (Angel Chevrestt, 646.314.3206)

She’s naked. She’s in a bathtub. And she’s brilliant.

Siobhan O’Loughlin is the petite powerhouse in this one woman show, bringing humanity to more than just the surface of the water she sits in.

Per usual, Siobhan brings a group of people together, in an actual bathroom, where she sits in the tub and tells her story. On this occasion, host, Ron Brawer, Daytime Emmy Award Winner for Outstanding Music Direction and Composition for Another World, allowed his Manhattan apartment to be the stage for this particular installment. His giant loft allowed for a larger audience to be present this time around and he provided Siobhan with more than just a conventional tub. Brought in by a friend from Wisconsin when Brawer moved in, was a large copper vat for making cheese!

Siobhan’s adorable face popped up from inside the tub as the literal shower curtain was pulled aside. The large copper basin sat underneath a shower head, which would leak droplets of water every now and then, causing Siobhan to react appropriately.

She told her story of riding her bike through the streets of New York one rainy night. An accident with another cyclist left her on the pavement with a broken hand and a broken spirit.

What was so great about this experience wasn’t just the cute face with the beautiful voice who told the story, or the incredible spirit who picked herself up and delivered a heartfelt depiction of life on life’s terms. What made this incredibly worthwhile was the literal shared experience the audience received.

Siobhan took us through the narrative, but paused at many intervals to ask opinions, thoughts and personal experiences from the friends who gathered around her and her tub. As we got to know her and what happened to her, we also got to know others and what they went through in similar experiences.

She even allowed one of the audience members to wash her back and her hair.

Stipped down to nothing, sitting in water, and allowing us to just be there with her while we let our own guard and defenses down was such a breath of fresh air from the usual theater formula.

In this day and age of social media, and keeping others at text or Facebook-length away, it was so refreshing to make a human connection. She made eye contact. She spoke to numerous audience members about their personal lives. She made you feel at home, at ease, and like a close friend you could open up to.

If you’re looking for something different, something fresh and something to tell a friend about, then check out Broken Bone Bathtub. This artist and this experience are worth it!

Tickets: Available at artful.ly for $35.00 each.

Performances: Manhattan: Greenwich Village – Feb 24 & 25

Meet Tony Torn and Ben Beckley & Latter Days

kingtony

Names: Tony Torn & Ben Beckley

What is your current project?

Latter Days

Where are you performing it and why is it the right fit for your piece?

Ben: Tony Torn and Will Dagger are performing the show (my first full-length play) as an Ars Nova Fling, with Dutch Kills producing. Ars Nova’s an ideal space for the production, not only because it’s an intimate and flexible space, but because it draws energy and resonance from the dozens of hyper-inventive premieres that have passed through it. I’m thrilled to be there.

Tony: Ars Nova is an intimate space that works well for an intimate play.

What’s next for you?

Tony:  I’m appearing in the upcoming Signature Theater revival of Suzan-Lori Parks’ VENUS.

Ben: I’ll be appearing opposite two-time Tony-winner Christian Borle in a reading of Brecht’s RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTURO UI and in The Assembly’s critically acclaimed HOME/SICK, a play I co-wrote and perform in that chronicles the rise and fall of a group of would-be American revolutionaries in the 1960s.

Who is your biggest inspiration right at this moment and why?

Tony: My wife, poet Lee Ann Brown

Ben: I’ve been thinking a lot about DON QUIXOTE lately, especially in the wake of the election and in the midst of a new administration apparently determined to forcefully divorce themselves and their supporters from demonstrable realities.

Name: Dipti Mehta

What is your current project?

Honour Confessions of a Mumbai Courtesan

Where are you performing it and why is it the right fit for your piece?

Jersey City Theater Center. We are a part of their Borderless season which is a perfect fit as the show is set in Mumbai, India but touches universal issues like human rights, women’s issues and gender issues.

What’s next for you?

We will be announcing our dates for Hoboken soon and are performing in Washington DC this summer.

Dipti discovered the power of theater at a young age of 6 in Mumbai, India when she was first cast in a school play, which marked the beginning of her acting career. She was unaware at that young age that she had indeed discovered her calling. She was fortunate to have her own radio shows featured on All India Radio from the young age of 13 eventually leading to a career as a radio jockey and a voice over artist.

According to her, theater is a powerful means to bring social transformation. Desire to make a difference through art is at the core of her projects and is reflected in “HONOUR: Confessions of a Mumbai Courtesan”.

She is a feminist and an advocate of women’s rights. She has been on interactive anti-sex trafficking panels with FBI agent Mara Schneider, Writer and Social worker, Stuart Perrin, Law professor Gloria Brown Marshal, and groups like ECPAT and AF3IRM.

She believes that art is not distinct from life. It is with this belief she created “HONOUR: CMC”, as an attempt to make a difference in the world.

TV credits include The Blacklist (NBC), Golden Boy (CBS), Deadline Crime with Tamron Hall (Investigation Discovery), One Life to Live, Virrudh, Hum-Tum, and Yoga for you. Film credits include Accommodations, Humor Me, Split, I Dream of Hope, Midnight Delight, Far Away, Penumbra (Cannes Short Film Corner), A box came to Brooklyn, Life! Camera Action (Winner- 11 nominations and 3 awards), A good life, Walkaway, Mamarosh, Red Corvette, Victory, Colors of Passion, and Summer of 2007. Theater credits include Half Hearted (Cherry Lane Theater), Grahan…the Eclipse (Winner – 4 awards), Nishfal (Winner-2 awards), Get Back, Vagina Monologues (Abingdon Theater), Honour (Fringe-NYC, La MaMa & Urban Stages) and Bollywood Wedding.

Meet Felix Rojas & Growing Up Gonzales

Name: Felix Rojas

What is your current project?

My current project is a one person, two act play called Growing Up Gonzales. Gonzales is a comedy with drama that tells the story of two brothers, Johnny and Cisco, who are brought together by death. It is Johnny’s job to clean out the apartment of the deceased Cisco. While cleaning he finds Cisco’s memoirs and discovers a brother he never really new. It’s a play about love, communication and forgiveness. It opens at The Medicine Show Theater on 52nd Street between 10th and 11th Avenues on Friday March 17th and runs through April 9th.

Where are you performing it and why is it the right fit for your piece?

The Medicine Show Theater is a nice intimate venue, the play works well in this setting, and the location is smack dab in the theater district. If we want theater people to see the show this is where it needs to be. This run of Gonzales is a showcase with the goal to attract some movers and shakers who can help move and shake the show to a bigger and more permanent venue. We have a small group of investors who believe in the project. I think their excitement is contagious. We’re hoping it rubs of on a few people.

What’s next for you?

I have a couple of projects in development. I have a comedy show called The National Improv League, I have two pilots for TV, a film script, a play with music (that should be traveling soon) and a musical. I think it’s important as a content creator to always have a thing or three in your back pocket. I think the musical will be up next. It’s a big, beautiful and haunting Caribbean spectacular. I’m hoping Gonzales helps connect me to the right people.

Who is your biggest inspiration right at this moment and why?

It’s not so much who but what. I am most inspired by people who have a dream that they refuse to give up on, I’m inspired by disabled people who accomplish more than able people, People who are kind, like my better half Saida, inspire me, great music that touches my soul inspires me, spiritual food, from any source, that helps me to understand myself a little better inspires me, words from Chekhov, Marquez and Hemingway inspire me, my kids inspire me…all of these things inspire me to create. Inspiration for me is active, it’s engaged…it reaches in a grabs a hold of my soul…sometimes gently and sometimes not. Gifted and brilliant inactive beings are still gifted and brilliant, they’re just not inspiring. I hope I never have to rely on any one person to inspire me.
