Synopsis: | This show is part of BAM's Next Wave Festival; this is from BAM: "Opening Night tells the story of a famous actress, starring in a play in which her character must come to terms with aging. After an avid fan/autograph-seeker is killed, the actress begins a downward personal spiral, confronting her own issues of mortality. Despite insincere support from her colleagues in the production, the actress works her way back from her crisis of the soul. In Dutch with English titles." | |||||

Synopsis: | The OBIE-winning theater company Hoi Polloi (Three Pianos) presents the first-ever staged version of Shadows, the collaboratively-created John Cassavetes film considered a watershed in the birth of American independent cinema. Originally released in 1959, the film depicts lean and hungry artists during the Beat Generation years in New York City, offering an unsparing view of racial and sexual conflict at the height of theEisenhower era. For this theatrical version, director Alec Duffy (Murder in the Cathedral) turns The Collapsable Hole into a raucous apartment party, with the action taking place in and around the audience. | ||||
