HEADS
By EM Lewis
Directed by Darin Anthony

WORLD PREMIERE August 14 – September 23, 2007

Imagine simply doing your job and out of nowhere being blindfolded, kidnapped, whisked away to some unknown location and having no idea why or how long you’ll be held or what will happen to you. Imagine not even being able to see your captors. Now, imagine that it all happened in Iraq. HEADS tells the story of four civilian American and British hostages who don’t have to imagine such things; they are living it.

This startling WORLD PREMIERE play takes you inside the “prison” walls and inside the psyche of terror. HEADS was originally presented in The Living Room Series, The Blank’s new play development program.
 

LITTLE FISH
A new musical by MICHAEL JOHN LaCHIUSA
Directed by Kirsten Sanderson

WEST COAST PREMIERE October 9 – November 18, 2007

Broadway star and Tony nominee Alice Ripley stars in this musical from the 5-time Tony nominated composer of The Blank’s THE WILD PARTY, HOTEL C’EST L’AMOUR, HELLO AGAIN & FIRST LADY SUITE. Don’t miss your chance to hear Ms. Ripley and a cast of Broadway
veterans sing this fantastic score without amplification!

“A stylish new musical. LITTLE FISH translates the sort of neurotic, sidewise narrative associated with The New Yorker’s fiction into the terms of musical comedy. Mr. LaChiusa’s score proceeds to blend the jazzy, noirish feel of what is conventionally called the symphony of the city. LITTLE FISH can be regarded as a direct, latter-day answer to (Sondheim’s) Company.” —NY Times

DICKIE & BABE: The TRUTH About Leopold & Loeb
Written & Directed by DANIEL HENNING

WORLD PREMIERE Winter 2008

Chicago. 1924. 2 hyper-intelligent rich boys, Nathan Leopold &
Richard Loeb, commit one of the most shocking crimes in history; which leads to the famous “trial of the century” with Clarence Darrow as their defense council. The boys’ tale has been sensationalized over the years but the deep dark truths have never been told…until now.

Blank Artistic Director Daniel Henning researched for two years before writing this WORLD PREMIERE. DICKIE & BABE: The TRUTH About Leopold & Loeb is a documentary play based entirely on trial transcripts, medical reports and other primary source material.
In other words…IT ALL HAPPENED!
