The play follows a group of strangers in the waiting room of an AIDS clinic over the course of several months. 'WHAT ARE TUESDAYS LIKE? is a small epic set entirely in the waiting room of a New York AIDS clinic. In scenes long and short, Victor Bumbalo follows a handful of human beings - male and female, white and black, gay and straight - over the course of a deadly year. Nobody has shown more strongly how adversity can drive good people apart and how courage and heart are needed to bring them back together. Bumbalo's drama is tough yet tender, lean yet spacious, as clear as water yet heartbreakingly powerful. It is a miraculous play.' -Christopher Bram, author of Gods and Monsters and Exiles in America 'Many AIDS plays written in the darkest days of the epidemic captured the pathos and anger aroused by lives cut short against a backdrop of bigotry and indifference. But few writers managed as gracefully as Victor Bumbalo to combine pathos with a bracing jolt of comedy. His characters rage and weep but never allow the disease to conquer their spirits, or their ability to laugh at themselves and the world. WHAT ARE TUESDAYS LIKE? is a tender, funny, altogether gorgeous piece of work.' -Joe Keenan, Emmy Award-winning writer of Frasier and author of Blue Heaven and My Lucky Star

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
