Synopsis: Bar Flies welcomes you to the bar of your nightmares: if there was a dive in purgatory, this would be it. Every sad sack in this place has a story to tell, and each and every one of them is one sip away from spilling their guts. Or cutting their feet off. Or picking up chicks to join the Marines. Or toasting to ghosts. Or burying their next-door neighbor in the backyard. Or exposing their incestuous lesbian love affair with their little sister. Or hand-picking which drunkard to get in a car accident with on the road back home. Bar Flies will be presented in Galapagos's back room among its patrons: noise, smoke, drink, sweat, pickup lines, etc. It will consist of five stories spoken by five actors mixing with music from the band. You will not know the players until they speak, possibly from the bar stool next to you | ||||

Notes: The Thirteenth Street Repertory Company presents Five Story Walkup, an evening of new short plays and monologues by some of today's leading dramatists, including John Guare, Neil LaBute, Quincy Long, and Clay McLeod Chapman. The following description is from the show's press release: "Follow the travails of mismatched lovers, a webcam provocateur, small-town philosophers, and urban pioneers as they strive to maintain or escape from their domestic situations. These works cover wide narrative territory, exploring cityscapes and rural settings, but are tied together by an intimate focus on the bond between identity and home." Proceeds from this production will go towards Thirteenth Street Rep's Legal Fund. nytheatre.com | ||||
