Love Is In the Air!

This month is all about love! If you caught our cabaret show this Valentine’s weekend, you know the songs, humor, dances and poetry were all about love. Who knew a martini could make such a great date? If you missed it, you can catch an all-new cabaret show at our theater the weekend of April 18th (cabaret tickets).

In the meantime, up next, is the Off The Wall Productions play “A Feminine Ending” by Sarah Treem. In this bittersweet comedy, a young woman is trying to make it in a profession largely dominated by men. She is living with her fiancé when her first love reappears into her life. Although she dreams of being a composer, the noise in her head is anything but sweet music.

Will love prevail?  

"Appealingly outlandish humor." - The New York Times


A Feminine Ending by Sarah Treem
February 28 to March 15, 2014.

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)

In this two-part blog, I’m going to focus not on the play itself, but on the set. Why? Because quite simply the set is astonishing! If you’ve been keeping up with our blogs, you already know that our current production Ghosts is set in the early 1880’s, that it was written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Isben and that though it is a revered classic today, it was considered absolutely scandalous in its time. The exposed secrets and immoralities conflicted with society’s moral taboos. 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
