OBIE-winning theater-maker Alec Duffy collaborates on three Samuel Beckett short plays with venerable actress Lelia Goldoni, a pairing that began after Goldoni saw Hoi Polloi's stage adaptation of John Cassavetes' "Shadows," the 1959 film that made her a fundamental figure in the birth of American independent cinema. Hoi Polloi will present "Footfalls," "Rockaby" and the radio piece "Cascando," with scenic design by OBIE-winner Mimi Lien. For the production, Lien has designed a room-within-a-room at JACK, with an audience capacity of 30.
Lelia Goldoni is best known for co-starring in John Cassavetes' groundbreaking film Shadows (1959) and playing the best friend of Ellen Burstyn's character in Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974). She appeared in a number of motion pictures and television shows starting in the late-1940s, including uncredited cameo roles in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's House of Strangers (1949), John Huston's We Were Strangers (1949) and The Italian Job (1969). She costarred on the episode "Fair Exchange" of the British television series Danger Man (1964) with Patrick MacGoohan. In 2010, she appeared in the miniseries The Pacific as Dora Basilone.

JACK
New Brooklyn arts space JACK was founded in June 2012 with a mission of creating radical access to the arts serving as a platform for the most adventurous of today's performing artists and as a vehicle for bridging audiences and educating youth. JACK, located in Clinton Hill, is housed in a standalone building that was built in 1924 as a five-car garage. It has been transformed into a 60-seat flexible performance space that features theater, music, dance and performance art, as well as programs for teens and young children. JACK is named in honor of Artistic Director Alec Duffy's grandfather, Jack Duffy, who combined work in the community as a minister at New York's Labor Temple with a great passion for theater, as well as Duffy's grandmother, Jacqueline deBrun, a born entertainer and lover of the arts. www.jackny.org.
