Synopsis: | Mark Twain's Blues opens with the 65-year-old Mark Twain preparing for yet another of his frequent humorous lectures. But this one will be different, because soon after Twain begins to speak, he's surprised by a voice from the audience: it's Huckleberry Finn, now a full 20 years older than he was in Twain's book. He's soon joined by escaped slave Jim-now 50 years old-and together the two accuse their creator of betraying the truth of their lives in order to boost book sales. Determined to set the record straight once and for all, Huck and Jim act out some of the scenes in Twain's book. . .but this time, the way they really happened | |||||

Enter an emotionally bruised, recently returned veteran of the Iraq War, who is working as an NYC cabbie.

Synopsis: | Siren's Heart is not the familiar victim narrative about Marilyn Monroe. She is still a living icon in the hearts and minds of millions, but in her own time, Norma Jean was suffocate by the mask of Marilyn and the weight of living up to that impossible ideal of beauty, crushed her. Imagines another place where we see Marilyn, or Norma Jean, as she might have been; as she wanted to be: the well-rounded, unhaunted person she couldn't be in her all-too-brief life. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | This Brechtian people-and-puppet play skewers the decadent world of Washington politicos and the lobbyists who love them. Riddled with psychosexual overtones, The View From K Street Steak observes Washington machinations in a series of ribald vignettes told with a vaudevillian spirit. Overseen by a Vegas puppet act, K Street pulls no punches, siding with no political party and sticking it to 'da man' in a myriad of perverse ways. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Why We Shot John is an earnest and controversial new piece of journalistic theatre. After years of research, playwright Walt Stepp has pieced together a plausible addition to the JFK conspiracy canon. Told by the five conspirators themselves who are now in their eighties, they assume the 25 roles in the play including Jack Kennedy himself. Although their personal account is murky after so much time has passed, the evidence is clear. They feared the power of the Civil Rights Movement with Jack Kennedy as its Great White Messiah. The specter of the resulting Kennedy Dynasty was too much to bear. | |||||
