Mainstage Reading: Orange Crush
By Daniel Goldstein
Directed by Pesha Rudnick
When Tony Schwartz was thirty five years old, he was offered the opportunity of a lifetime: write a book with an up-and-coming real estate magnate. He took the job and the book was a runaway success; its subject was catapulted into worldwide fame. But when that man becomes the President of the United States and could single-handedly destroy Democracy as we know it, Tony has to ask himself, "am I responsible?"
Check out the playwright here.
*Orange Crush was originally commissioned by Roundabout Theatre Company and is presented in partnership with Roundabout Theatre Company.

Mainstage Reading: Flame Broiled. or the ugly play
By Rodney Hicks
Directed by Rodney Hicks and Markus Potter
Flame Broiled. or the ugly play is a 90-minute vignette play that centers on race and culture in our sometimes Black and White America. The four actors transform and become many various people who believe and say many various things. There is anger, there is joy, there is laughter, there is confusion, above all it ends with three words:. I love you. But you gotta get through the ugly to see the joy.
Check out the playwright here.
