Sour Grapes Productions has announced that its show Silent But Deadly: A Mime Experience, will now be playing permanently in UNDER St. Marks Theater (94 St. Marks Place, New York, NY, 10009) on the first Thursday of every month at 10:30pm, as part of FRIGID NY's monthly lineup. 

Silent But Deadly, created by Chris Weigandt and Genny Yosco and directed by Yosco, is described by Yosco as "a mixture of dance, clown, and mime, all with the intent to make audiences laugh without any of us having to learn our lines - I mean, er - using body language? Yeah, that's it, body language. Artsy stuff like that. Using our head, shoulders, knees, and toes, we'll be contorting and wiggling into your hearts and nightmares." The company features artists Leyla A, Dorie Casper, Danny Epstein, David Yurch, Ellen Ko, Saturday Lawson, Hadas Pacholder, Katherine Yacko, and Genny Yosco, with special guests every month.

Co-founder of Sour Grapes Productions Genny Yosco has currently directed 28 productions in New York, 20 of which have been original works, and she and Weigandt recently completed a run of the Midsummer Night's Dream adaptation Go Puck Yourself: A Shakesqueer Comedy at the 2019 Midsummer Nights Festival held at the Kraine Theater, which was called “expertly done” and “a joy to behold” by Hi! Drama, and “a resonant analogy of queer oppression” with “laugh-out-loud physical comedy” by Thinking Theater NYC.

The first performance of Silent But Deadly in its new home takes place on September 5th at 10:30pm.

American Blues: 5 Short Plays by Tennessee Williams Written by Tennessee Williams Directed by Jim Niesen Presented by the Irondale Ensemble Project at The Space at Irondale 85 South Oxford St., Brooklyn, NYC October 27-November 26, 2023 Shadenia Savid in Moony's Kids Don't Cry . Photo by Natasha Rotondaro In 1948, Tennessee Williams published American Blues , a collection of five one-act plays, and a remarkable new production of this collection by Brooklyn's Irondale shows that these works have lost none of their power to both entertain and challenge audiences in the intervening three-quarters of a century. Comprising plays written in the decade between 1936 and 1946 - Moony's Kids Don't Cry (1936); The Dark Room (1939); The Case of the Crushed Petunias (1941); The Long Stay Cut Short, or, the Unsatisfactory Supper (1946); and Ten Blocks on the Camino Real (1946) - American Blues represents the second part of Irondale's American Century, the first install

Review: Nancy Redman’s "A Séance with Mom" Conjures Mother-Daughter Hilarity and Love

A Séance with Mom Written by Nancy Redman Directed by Austin Pendleton Presented at Chain Studio Theatre 312 W. 36th St., Manhattan, NYC April 20-23, 2023 [Update 5/1/23: shows added May 24-June 4, 2023 (no performance May 29)] Nancy Redman Nancy Redman appears onstage, a simple table in front of her, a walker off to the side. Within seconds, we are immersed in a séance involving two then three then four characters—all emerging from only Redman. Redman plays Nadine, a woman who has something urgent to address with her dead mother, Gussy. Redman manages multi-faceted character work, each character in conversation with the other, complete with different gestures, accents, and mannerisms. The effect is riveting and, ultimately, deeply cathartic. The heart of the show comprises Nadine’s mission to reach her mother through a séance in order to talk. An unwitting rabbi plays the bumbling gatekeeper to the spirits in the séance, while Nadine’s something—actually several somethings—to tell her
