Episode # 200 - Indie Theater Now: March 2008
Indie Theater Now! is nytheatrecast’s monthly episode highlighting six shows opening this month, hosted by Trav S.D. Here’s the run-down!
Opening the program is a comical song ”That’s Why We Love the Zoo” from What’s the Point? performed by Hector Coris and Patrick Garrigan. Trav S.D. chats with Hector about the show which is playing at the Reprise Room.
Listen carefully as Paco Tolson and Temar Underwood save the spaceship from extinction in Vampire Cowboys’ production of Fight Girl Battle World. Playwright Qui Nguyen gives Trav some background on his new play which opens at Center Stage.
Next up is a return visit with Carlo Rivieccio whose Festival at the Players Theatre this time focuses on baseball — Shortened Attention Baseball Festival. Listen carefully to the special discount offers he announces for this audience.
Another musical interlude with a truly sweet number strummed and sung by Meg Cavanaugh, John Forkner, and Lindsay Foreman. Director Victor Moag sets the scene for the number and, afterward, gives a bit more background for Sex! Drugs! & Ukuleles! opening at Theater for the New City.
Two short scenes from Angel Shit are performed by Jessica Ko, Serena Miller, Martha Lee, Kendra Jewell Treichler, and Todd Fletcher. Director Russell Dobular calls the second scene “the blue part of the show”. Trav takes a few minutes to talk to Russ about this play which will open at Endtimes Underground at the Gene Frankel Theatre.
Last up is Mastiphicus Meglodon which Trav describes as “the other Scottish play”. Director Peter Schuyler sets the scene and is followed by a short excerpt featuring Jesse Lawrence, Jason Unfried, and Justin Plowman. Wrapping it up is Peter telling more about the play which will be at Under St. Marks.
