Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw presents ON THE ROCKS by George Bernard Shaw Monday, November 16 at 7pm at The Players Club (16 Gramercy Park South)
Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw -- now in the fourth year of its four-year series --continues tackling every play George Bernard Shaw ever wrote with its 44th presentation: Shaw's viciously wicked ON THE ROCKS to be performed Monday, November 16 at 7:00pm at The Players Club (16 Gramercy Park South) in Manhattan. David Staller directs.
ON THE ROCKS is a heart-warming cocktail about money, greed, politics and sex. This viciously witty 1933 comedy tackles the unthinkable concept of a country in the midst of an economic depression. Unemployment, health care, human rights...you name it! It's a riotous cast of character, assembled as only possible in the always-surprising imagination of George Bernard Shaw.
The cast for ON THE ROCKS includes Ezra Barnes, Kelli Barrett, Reed Birney, Carole J. Bufford, Ian Gould, Jeffrey Hardy, Jayne Houdyshell, George S. Irving, Tim Jerome, William McCauley, Sal Mistretta, Christine Pedi, James Rana, Jeff Steitzer, Daine Stilwell Weinberg, Joel Van Liew, and Anatol Yusef. The play will be introduced by theatre critic David Sheward of Backstage and NY1 On Stage.
Project Shaw readings are open to the public. Tickets for ON THE ROCKS are $20. For reservations, call TheaterMania at 212-352-3101 or visit www.PROJECTSHAW.com
