AN EVENING WITH WILLIAM SHATNER ASTERISK
Written by Joe Diebes

Systems Designed by Rob Ramirez

Concept and Direction by Phil Soltanoff
Performed by Mari Akita

Part of COIL 2014 Festival

Most theatrical works still hold to a model where the actor is the center of the theatrical universe. An Evening with WILLIAM SHATNER ASTERISK considers a post-human theatre, exploring the possibilities that occur when the principle player is technological and acts in symbiosis with human performers. Together, the artists have created a dynamic, video Shatner oracle by meticulously cataloguing everything William Shatner ever said on the original Star Trek series to boldly go where no one has gone before: to make Captain James T. Kirk expand our universe.

I CALL MY BROTHER
Written by Jonas Hassen Khemiri

Directed by Erica Schmidt

Translated by Rachel Willson-Broyles

On the day after a car bombing, Amor walks through his city on an important errand. The city is crippled by fear. He's got his backpack and his cell phone. He wanders the streets, doing his best to blend in. He must not attract any suspicious glances. But what is normal? For 24 intense hours inside Amor's head, the lines between criminal and victim, and fantasy and reality become blurrier and blurrier. From the team of the Obie Award-winning Invasion!, their new production of I Call My Brother is a funny, frenzied showdown between our prejudices and paranoia.

NOT SEEN IN NYC IN OVER 20 YEARS!

AND BABY MAKES SEVEN follows the story of Anna and Ruth, a lesbian couple who enlist their gay friend Peter to help them create a family. But are any of them ready for parenthood? Tensions rise as the three adults prepare for the imminent arrival of their baby-and matters are made all the more challenging by the persistence of the three imaginary children who already live with them. The lines between fantasy and reality, child and adult, love and madness crisscross through this hysterically funny and deeply touching comedy about what it means to be a family.
