• A Play On Words by Brian Dykstra

  • May 2009 - Jun 2009

  Seinfeld meets Waiting for Godot in this ferociously witty play on, about and exploding with language. Rusty and Max have been friends since grade school and they’ve been arguing almost the entire time. Today they're scheming up something big. Brian Dykstra’s signature style crackles in this uproarious romp through backyard suburbia where two (slightly above average) Average Joes spar in a relentlessly fanatical pursuit of what is said, what is intended, and what is.

• Director of NO PAROLE

  • Oct 2008 - Nov 2008

  A new solo show by Carlo D'Amore Carlo D’Amore immigrated to the US at age 11. Before that impoverishing journey, he had been with his affluent family in Peru. NO PAROLE is his multi-character, one-man show which introduces us to his family, which was not as well-off in the US, but headed by a fiery Latina mother intent on providing for them at any cost. With sound scores for transitions, Carlo plays all characters, composites of people he has known and observed, weaving a tale of family structure as rigid and confining as the steel bars of the set on which he performs. As he says, “Family is a life sentence.” Show less
