An Exciting Year at Off The Wall Theater

Our first run of Straightening Combs by Kim El was this past weekend and was a BIG HIT with the audience.  If you missed this hit, don’t worry!  We have a great line up of new productions.  Here’s a look at what you can look forward to in the next few months:


Off the Wall Cabaret – February 14 & 15.  Come enjoy first-rate comedy, spectacular singing, and a HOT new dance company, all under one roof. Tickets.

A Feminine Ending by Sarah Treem – February 28 – March 15.  A gentle, bittersweet comedy about a young woman who knows what she wants but not quite how to get it. Tickets.

Dorothy in Oz by James Michael Shoberg – performed by Rage on the Stage – playing at our theater March 20 – 29.  This play will feature a brand-new opening, many never-before-seen jokes and bits, and NINE new actors!

Off the Wall Cabaret – April 18 – 19.  Join us for our second Cabaret Show!  Singing, dancing and comedic entertainment that will have doubled over with laughter. Tickets.

Women Count at at off the WALL

WOMEN COUNT In case you missed the theatre industry’s gender parity movement, here’s a recap: women have been writing plays for millennia and landing productions for centuries.   Over time, they’ve also come to play key roles onstage and backstage.   But female theatre artists of all kinds still find themselves bonking their heads on a glass ceiling known as the “glass curtain.”   Even today, female playwrights, directors, and designers are atypical.   Shakespearian gender-swapping has been mooted as a partial solution; however, such theatrical “novelty” only serves to distract from the main issue – the absence of contemporary dramas reflecting the complexity of women’s lives.   Cross-gender casting fails to question the over-representation of dead and living male playwrights.   It does not address the fact that half our contemporary creative world is missing. In an essay in howlround.com, Jenny Lyn Bader writes: “We live in a world dominated by male imagination. (Men) writ

GHOSTS: A SET IN THE MAKING (PART 1)

If you’d like to learn more about the history of the play, the storyline, the characters or director, please peruse our recent posts. Scenic Design: Rich Preffer In the meantime, let’s take a look at the set. The set design, by Rich Preffer, captures the essence of the play. The mood. The character. The unsaid meanings and implications. The set itself includes a cage like structure, including a canopy structure, which encompasses the entire set. Looking at the set, you at once feel both the sense of h
