Synopsis: | The F on My Chest is the result of 5 months of intensive playwriting, acting and discussion exploring what it means to be a "hero". Who is a hero, who gets to assign the title of hero and do we even need heros anymore? The F on My Chest is a powerful, touching, and funny portrait of the lives of young heros and their answers to this question. Theatre Askew Youth Performance Experience (TAYPE) empowers lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth and their allies in the New York area by nurturing and developing their unique theatrical voices. | |||||

Synopsis: | Metropolitan Playhouse hosts The Horatio Alger Festival, the theater's seventh annual Living Literature Festival of performances inspired by the lives and works of American authors. The Festival is a collection of five new works by artists and companies from near and far taking their inspiration from Alger's works and biography. The Horatio Alger Festival includes one-act and full-length plays, ranging from adaptation to biographical fantasy, all inspired by Alger and his work. Alger's legacy as the man who made the rags to riches story an American staple, is familiar to all; less well known are his actual stories, and the story of his own life, with inspirational and nefarious twists of its own. Together, these very different plays by singular contemporary theater voices will bring the author's work to a new audience, explore the persistent resonance of his themes in our own culture (for good and ill), and delve into the darker side of both the Alger myth and Alger the man. | |||||

Notes: | written by Tim Cusack & Jason Jacobs, adapted by the company | |||||
Synopsis: | This is a free adaptation of the BBC miniseries I, Claudius, created by Theatre Askew. It relates the sexual intrigues and imperial ambitions of the Julio-Claudian family in 1st century Rome (the emperors of Rome Augustus Caesar, Tiberius, Caligula, and Claudius). The company provides this disclaimer: "This is a work of historical fiction. Any resemblance to current events involving nepotism, cronyism, corruption, religious fanaticism, aggressive foreign policy, widening class divisions, sex scandals, and the dynastic ambitions of certain American families is purely coincidental. The presenters of this theatrical entertainment assume no responsibility for any parallels you may draw between imperial Rome and our time." | |||||
