Subversion

Subversion is an avant-garde art showcase that challenges and inspires. Performers are encouraged to push creative boundaries; exploring controversial, emotional, or deeply personal themes. The show follows the philosophy ‘Art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed’ described by Cesar A. Cruz. Designed for art lovers, alternative communities, and those craving deeper creative expression in live performance. Subversion is an immersive, thought-provoking experience that leaves the audience feeling something- whether that’s awe, discomfort, catharsis, or connection. This production is for ages 18+.

I Am a Mistery

Join us for I Am a Mistery, a play based on the life of the enigmatic Amanda Lear. Throughout her life as a model, artist’s muse and disco queen, Lear—who has been linked to both Salvador Dalí and David Bowie—has denied and yet playfully fueled the rumors that she is transgender. One of her teasing disco songs—the deliberately misspelled “I’m a Mistery”—inspired this play’s title. Written by Margo Hammond, the play is directed by Bob Devin Jones, with performances by Eugenie Bondurant, Michael Gregory, Mary Rachel Quinn and Jim Sorensen who all appear in multiple roles. Beginning on an imaginary set of the now defunct To Tell the Truth quiz show where two female actors and one male actor all claim to be Amanda Lear, I Am a Mistery explores the lives of these multiple Lears. So who is the real Amanda Lear? “Come decide for yourself at this play about gender matters that will have you pondering whether gender matters,” says Hammond. After the October 10th performance, the play’s creative team will curate a talkback about the play’s themes: society’s obsession with gender and labels and the importance for artists to find their own unique ways of defining themselves. You are invited to join in the discussion.

Deathtrap by Ira Levin

From the author of Rosemary’s Baby and The Stepford Wives comes a play The New York Post calls “a classic thriller.” Comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Sidney’s plan, devised with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student for co-credit. Or is it? Deathtrap provides twists and turns of devilish cleverness, and offers hilariously sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be spellbound until the very last moment.
