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 | ||||

Synopsis: The news that a local evangelist has been murdered throws The Vindicator into the crisis it's been putting off for years. Jack, the city editor, grapples with the secrets of his dubious parentage, and manages to alienate Janet, his ace staffer, in the process. JJ, the cub reporter, stumbles in and out of competence, while Pepper, JJ's nubile girlfriend, bypasses competence altogether and breaks into printprofoundly irritating the veteran Hump, who proceeds to drink himself out of a job. Carl, the minister's son (and self-proclaimed patricide), can't get anybody to believe that he killed his father (because he didn't) so he shifts focus and proposes to Jack's oddball mother, who, as it happens, orchestrated the murder as a boon for her son, who is trying to get the goods on Tucci, his arch enemy and long-lost brother. All very bizarrebut, in the end, evil is punished, good is rewarded, Mom expires, and the boys (finally) grow up. | ||||

Synopsis: Three out-of-work loggers, fueled by alcohol, God and song, set forth from a northwoods bar one night on a misguided errand of mercy. Raymond, Merle and Junior have met a stranger in the bar even drunker and lonelier than they are, and, after accidentally shooting him, decide to reunite the poor fellow with his estranged wife somewhere north of the border in Canada. Hampered at every turn by misunderstanding, confusion, stupidity, drunkenness, desire and mistaken identity, the chivalrous loggers resolutely attempt to do the right thing, while achieving precisely the opposite. In the end, wild certainty yields to a chastened amazement over what man won't do for a little peace. | ||||

Synopsis: Jonathan Van Huffle, a wealthy but weak-willed widower, has promised his immensely spoiled daughter, Little Eva, a eunuch for her birthday. All the other girls have one. It's an absolute requirement in her society, where the daughters of the wealthy are introduced to the joys and perils of sophistication by their personal eunuchs. The trouble is, Jonathan has also fallen in love with the scrumptious but scrupulous Miss McCracken, a progressive waitress at a tea shop who is adamantly opposed to the castration and sale of human beings. How can Jonathan reconcile the powerful desires of his daughter and his beloved? With the help and hindrance of a pair of nutty household servants, Little Eva goes on to triumph at the ball, though not in the way she or anyone else expects in this faux-Victorian comedy with songs. | ||||

Synopsis: A photograph captures and documents a single moment in time and space -- a snapshot of history, of a reality bounded by the photo's frame. But what lies outside, beyond, behind the photograph? And what stories, memories, or associations does an image of place inspire? In this multi-writer project from Actors Theatre of Louisville, a diverse assortment of talented playwrights encounter and transform Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, 1969, a compelling image of the monument by renowned photographer Lee Friedlander. Their thought-provoking scenes and monologues range from delightful comedy to utterly serious tragedy, each approaching the photo's themes through a new lens. | ||||
