Kitchen Sink 2009-10

The Kitchen Sink series provides a venue for emerging regional theater artists to develop work through staged readings and informal performances of works-in-progress. This season we are also offering three short-run works we are calling SINK SPECIALS:

HO by Brian Dykstra - December 9 - 20, 2009
The Kitchen’s fastest talking, most irreverent playwright and poet takes on the subject of Christmas in a new piece—one that’s not likely to be the next Hallmark holiday special.

LA VOIX HUMAINE by Francis Poulenc - March 17, 18, 20 & 21, 2010
Opera in the Kitchen! La Va Humaine is Poulenc’s haunting one-act opera for solo soprano based on text by Jean Cocteau. Guest artists singer Deborah Lifton, director David Lefkowich and pianist Brian DeMaris will fill the theater with music and this emotional story of love and loss.

LOSING MYSELF by Rachel Lampert - May 26 - June 6, 2010
From playwright/performer Rachel Lampert, author of THE SOUP COMES LAST, comes a new piece. Together with a multi-generational cast, she tells a story about gaining and losing all sorts of things—keys, years, and pounds.
