I only came across this the other day and I might have to take a trip into NY to see it. Evenings of one-acts are so rarely produced by the big companies, this is an exciting venture. Only $25, too. Anyone gone yet?

Oh, and Alison Fraser is in it!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

I did prosthetic head pieces for Signature's Production of Drowning a few years back. Fun stuff!

I saw this last week. I enjoyed it but I tend to like weird stuff. These plays are weird (especially Drowning and Funnyhouse). All are well done and we'll acted and make an interesting night of theatre. Was familiar with the Sandbox but never seen it staged ( that play is also 15 minutes long). The other 2 not so much (vaguely remember Funnyhouse from reading it in college and Drowning I never heard of and was floored by it in this production.)

It's a night of adventurous theatre and you should go on the adventure if you are game for that.

I'm seeing it tomorrow. I'm familiar with all three plays, having been in The Sandbox in college and read the Fornes and the Kennedy. The term "experimental theater" gets thrown around with such casualness nowadays, but these are the true pioneers of the form. The Sandbox is exciting because it allows you to see an early work from a contemporary American master, still finding his voice. I'd venture to say it's not an evening for the nonadventurous theatergoer -- After Eight has probably already seen it and hated it -- but it's one of my must-sees right now.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I love all these plays on their own. I hope I have time to see this.
