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: "How To Eat an Orange" Cuts into the Life of an Argentine Artist and Activist

How To Eat an Orange Written by Catherine Filloux Based on the writing of Claudia Bernardi Directed by Elena Araoz Presented by La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club at The Downstairs at La MaMa 66 E 4th St., Manhattan, NYC May 30-June 16, 2024 Paula Pizzi. Photo by Steven Pisano How To Eat an Orange , making its world premiere at La MaMa, does in fact include a real orange as a prop, and its multifarious symbolizations–evoking at different points cultural specificity, family history, matriarchal inheritance, and even a skull–are representative of the play's boundary-blurring, non-linear presentation of memory. The memories in question belong to visual artist, educator, and activist Claudia Bernardi , who lived through several years of her native Argentina's military junta, which held power from 1976 to 1983, before departing her country and eventually settling in the United States. How To Eat an Orange , from Catherine Filloux, a French Algerian American award-winning playwright,
