WHEN WE HAVE GONE ASTRAY
a world premiere by Brandon Walker
Hysterically poignant, When We Have Gone Astray provides an entertaining look at the modern-day struggles of three twenty-something New Yorkers in the current economic recession. In the play, Ira Trask, a lonely and struggling actor, decides that New Years Eve, 2008 will be his last day in New York Cityand what a better way to break in the new year than with a holiday hooker. Only one problem: she turns out to be an old flame from his childhood, Cassie, who has just been turned out onto the street. Cassie and Iras unpredictable reunion is mediated by Keith, a trust fund baby who now delivers pizzas after losing all his money to Ponzi-schemer Bernie Madoff. During the course of the evening, Cassie, Ira and Keith all humorously struggle to face the many compromises they must make during this troubling American recession. Directed by Kaitlin Colombo, featuring Heather Lee Harper, Joseph Mancuso, & Brandon Walker. Running time approximately 2 hours with 1 intermission.
HOT CRIPPLE
written and performed by Hogan Gorman
It's Legally Blonde meets Michael Moore in this hilariously devastating solo show. This is the story of Hogan Gorman, an ex-model turned actress/waitress, hoping for a change in her life when she got exactly that; unfortunately it came at her at 30 miles per hour as she was hit by a car while crossing the street. Don't worry, though, it's not a sob story. It's a wild ride with crippled hand jobs, a stalker ambulance driver, short term memory loss, forgotten food stamps, a hot doctor, a crazy judge and a fashionista's guide of what to wear to the welfare office. And at the core of this story: a look at what happens to the uninsured in this country when they unexpectedly become sick or injured.
As a nation debating the future of healthcare, we have begun to ask the question, "What is our obligation to the poor and unhealthy in this country?" Hot Cripple echoes the story of millions of Americans who slip through the cracks of our failed healthcare and welfare system. Directed by Quin Gordon. Running time approximately 90 minutes.

This Special Event is produced by Colleen deVeer, Joshua Rivedal, & The Seeing Place.
