Brighina and the Worm, by Leslie Pasternack, anatomizes a young woman's passionate relationship with a parasite. At manhattantheatresource's Estrogenia Sola Voce Festival, audiences raved about Brighina's dark humor and "intense vulnerability." Exploring links between physical and mental pain, critic and director Dr. Stephen Haley declared that Brighina demonstrates "the complete annihilation of the feminine."

A Busy Guy with a Lot of Problems unveils a series of dark dependencies, as Onore's Everyman goes where others won't dare. Shedding layers, Onore finds wonderment and the grotesque underneath. Producer Cheryl King raves, "Brilliant, sexy, different, wry....yesyesyesyesyes!" FOSTERS DAILY writes "wickedly funny,  decidedly edgy. . . themes of sexual obsession and failed relationships are not normally the sort of thing one would consider funny, but Onore somehow pulls it off, staggering the fine line between disturbed and disturbing." METRONOME adds: “the left side of life, hip, urbane, style all his own." 

Good at That, by Leslie Pasternack, introduces a gentle janitor who takes pride in his (sometimes unsavory) work. This commedia dell'arte-inspired masked character has romped at Stage Left Studio and manhattantheatresource. Watch Good at That to meet the friend you'll want near you at the end.

Mingling humor, melancholy, and revelation, we invite you to DIG THIS!
