PHILADELPHIA PREMIERE!
DUTCH MASTERS
BY GREG KELLER
DIRECTED BY KEVIN GLACCUM
SEPTEMBER 11-22, 2013
A young white man and a young black man meet on a D train to the Bronx and strike up a conversation. It’s 1992. Los Angeles is still smoldering, the Crown Heights riots are only a recent memory. This chance encounter will lead these two young men into a head-on confrontation in a story that goes from Rockefeller Center to 145th St and everywhere in-between. A piercingly insightful comedy-drama that takes a frank and deeply human look at the problems of race in America. STARRING BRENDAN DALTON & BRANDON PIERCE

SKIN AND BONE
BY JACQUELINE GOLDFINGER
DIRECTED BY ALLISON HEISHMAN
MARCH 5-23, 2014 Skin and Bone is the second play in Jacqueline Goldfinger’s trilogy of contemporary Southern Gothic plays. Aging sisters Midge and Madge run a broken down bed and breakfast that has a date with a wrecking ball. When a young woman appears searching for clues about a former guest, the memories she stirs up send all three women down the dark and dusty road of a past better left hidden. Audiences return to the quiet creepiness of this small North Florida town from Azuka’s 2011 World Premiere, the terrible girls.
RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 16+

PHILADELPHIA PREMIERE!
TIGERS BE STILL
THE VIRGINIA & HARVEY KIMMEL NEW PROFESSIONALS PRODUCTION!
BY KIM ROSENSTOCK Tigers Be Still is a quirky, endearing and deliciously dark new comedy, critically acclaimed in its 2010 New York premiere. Sherry finds herself unemployed, overwhelmed and hiding out in her childhood house, but when she gets hired as a substitute art teacher, things begin to look up! Now, if only her mother would get out of bed, her sister would stop stealing her ex-fiancé’s knick-knacks, her first therapy patient would do his homework, her new boss would leave his gun at home, and someone would catch the escaped tiger, everything would be just perfect.

During our week-long event we invite you to be a part of the process! We bring the best and the brightest actors to the table to read and discuss new plays we are considering for future productions. We actively produce our Spotlight Series plays (the terrible girls, Whisky Neat, Skin and Bone, and ‘Twas The Night) and your voice is critical in making this kind of exciting new work happen.
The best of the worst is back and this year it’s bigger than ever – not that size matters! By popular demand, Philly’s funkiest fundraiser will be making you laugh ‘til it hurts for two nights! Come check out the funniest actors in Philadelphia as they give melodramatic readings of the funniest, weirdest, most ridiculous posts from the City Paper’s iconic I Love You, I Hate You column. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, this is the perfect alternative event sure to please both the romantics and the romantically challenged, Philly style!
