From the French comic genius who inspired contemporary sit - coms this hilarious satire about a man who loves to be sick and his attempts to keep his daughter away from her true love. This new River Stage adaptation of the play takes place in New Orleans in 1912. There will be two staged presentations each of three original plays. Witness a play being born as the original pieces are presented in front of an audience for the first time, scripts in the actor's hands. Many of our Festival staged readings later become part of our future season presentations.
Subscribers can attend readings of each of the three plays.
This exciting new play was developed in our first Playwright's Festival of New Works. An actual account of a gritty Lt. Colonel who commanded a helicopter squadron during the gulf war and unfairly took the blame for a friendly fire incident. By Mark Stein Directed by Frank Condon Acts Unbecoming a Golem Developed in last season's Festival of New Works, this fascinating and humorous treatment of the ancient Jewish legend of the Golem involves a young stand - up comedian who attempts to come to terms with his roots and finds himself in a situation that is both frightening and illuminating. Stein is the author of two plays developed here at River Stage and then presented as part of our regular season offerings - Ghost Dance a few seasons ago and last season's The Scottsboro Boys.
