Space 55 Double Feature!
Tangelico / Cube With A View
By Sterling Lynch / Mare Biddle
February 11 - 27 (Thursdays-Saturdays @ 8pm.)
Sterling Lynch's U.S. premier of Tangelico introduces us to Jacob, who is quite sure that he has the space booked. He is certain of it. But they won't leave him alone!! Mare Biddle's world premier of A Cube With A View introduces us to Alex. She is smitten with Brock. Brock admires himself. Dennis wants something else. And none of them understand what the deal is with the cats. Elements of this real-world tale overlap with the abstract universe of Tangelico, making these two plays true companion pieces. Both abusing potatoes, apples, soy milk and other oddities.
The Bakers of Lakewood
By Phillip E. Schmiedl
Coming 2010!
Meet the Bakers of Lakewood: mother and son, of Lakewood, Ohio. Millie is a lonely, miserable, and controlling woman who dreads the day her son will leave her. Dewey, a man in his thirties, big hearted and defeated, has spent his life under her thumb. Will tenacious Nancy, the new woman in Dewey's life, give him the strength he needs to confront his mother and move out of her house? The tension in this drama reaches fever pitch, when the three of them gather as a "family" for Millie's birthday celebration.This world premiere by New York playwright Phillip Schmiedl stars Patti Hannon of Late Night Catechism, Shawna Franks and Richard Briggs. This show is produced in conjunction with The Actors Studio in New York City.
