| Synopsis: | THE DICKENS features a priest that wants to box with God, a pregnant whore, a greedy Undertaker who uses alcohol to increase his business, and a gambler who's both outlaw and Queen, among others. These bad apples gather in a saloon on Christmas Eve, sing, drink, curse, and fight their way into December 25, only to and find faith in their darkest hour. "What could be more natural in New York City in 2005 than staging an 1880's Western, that happens to be a comedy, that deals with the Christmas story, titled The Dickens," says Carrillo, "The word dickens not only refers to Charles Dickens, but is also used as an expression of severe reprimand, and even to signify the devil himself." THE DICKENS is written by Theatre for the New City literary manager, Michael Scott-Price. | |||||

| Synopsis: | Lynch PLAY is a journey in time spanning from the first recorded court case of mandated life-long servitude (slavery) in the 1600's up to the most powerful person in broadcasting today, Oprah Winfrey. Lynch PLAY incorporates original source material from the writings of Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson, who wrote extensively about the race issue. As Lynch PLAY unfolds, it becomes clear that our founding fathers not only laid the ground work for democracy, our proudest achievement, but also that their unheralded writings laid the basis for racial hatred, our nation's silent shame. | |||||
