Pied a Terre -
This Fall At The Kirk Theater - Tickets On Sale Now!
|
|
Pied a Terre, by John Anastasi, is a play about Julia, a
television journalist who discovers a Manhattan penthouse owned by her
husband, that she was unaware existed. As Julia explores the
apartment, she is interrupted by Katie, a beautiful young woman, who
seems to know Julia's husband a little too well. As the two women
face off, secrets unfold revealing they have more in common than either
could have ever imagined. Not your usual love triangle.
Pied a Terre, or a second home, is a drama about grief,
loss, and coming to terms with survivor guilt, where the passions of
the soul come into conflict with the obligations of the mind and the
needs of the heart.
Stageplays will present Pied a
Terre in a world premiere production,
Off Broadway, this fall at the Kirk Theater on New York's Theatre Row. Pied a
Terre begins previews November 26th and
opens December 1st.

On Stage And Screen
|
|
Catch the current Broadway
revival of A Chorus Line, with
Charlotte d'Amboise in the central role of Cassie, to see how
well this musical stands up and the themes within the story resonate with
feeling pertinent to the issues of today.
No End In Sight, now in theatrical release on screens
across the country, presents a sobering perspective on the present
malaise in Iraq.
A thought-provoking documentary structured to spark reactions ranging from
frustration to outrage, that leaves one wondering whether the present
Administration's endless downward spiral will ever bottom out.
Latin Beat
2007, the Film Society of Lincoln Center's annual
survey of films from Latin America,
never fails to produce vital cinema of intense experience and
unexpected surprise. This year, Bluff,
a Columbian film with more plot twists and turns than San Francisco's Lombard Street has curves, will
keep you guessing right up until the end of the story - and
beyond. If any film deserves to have you sit through until
the last credit flashes on the screen, this one is it - guaranteed absolutely
the best exit line this year - and next!!!
