ALIEN CHILD

by Jim Shankman

directed by Craig George

Monday, November 19th at 7 pm

With

Jessica Dickey, Shana Dowdeswell, Jacob Liberman,

Wayne Maugans, and Jill Shackner

Please join us for our third reading of the season, Charlie is a severely autistic teen, and her twin brother Jonah is the only one who can calm her down. When their parents begin to cave under pressure to give up Charlie's care, Jonah refuses to let her go - and things get ugly fast. Jim Shankman's sparkling, insightful, and often comically absurd play gets us inside the chaos that this crisis creates for this family, beautifully balancing the perspectives of Jonah, Charlie, and their parents.

To reserve your complimentary tickets, please RSVP to seats@thenewgroup.org.

Seating is limited.

Winter 2013 World Premiere
CLIVE
By Jonathan Marc Sherman
Directed by and featuring Ethan Hawke

Inspired by Bertolt Brecht's inflammatory play Baal, Clive tracks a dissipated songwriter in 1990s New York City from the hedonistic heights of seduction and consumption into an ecstasy of self-destruction. This production reunites Jonathan Marc Sherman and Ethan Hawke, who teamed previously at The New Group on Things We Want (written by Sherman, directed by Hawke). At once a celebration and a nightmare vision of life lived for pleasure, Clive boasts an eclectic selection of classic American songs performed live.

Spring 2013 World Premiere

Movie producer Bunty Berman has long been the toast of Bombay, but now Raj, his biggest star and best friend, is beginning to lose his lustre.
