First Floor Studio Residency – A PAINTED WINDOW

HB Studio presents A PAINTED WINDOW POSTER (1)
A FIRST FLOOR STUDIO RESIDENCY
A PAINTED WINDOW
a NEW play by Christy Hall
Directed by Hazen Cuyler

Featuring: Johanna Leister*- Josephine, Mar Riehl*- Sylvia, AC Davison*- Charles

Stage Managers – Elizabeth Moreno & Alissa Silverio
Designed by Hazen Cuyler and Reanna Armellino

A PAINTED WINDOW catalogues the reunion of two siblings, Josephine and Sylvia, two sisters that long ago used to giggle together late at night, yet now stand worlds apart. It’s a dissection of identity, classism, racism, and the grotesque havoc consumerism, capitalism, and entitlement has wreaked on the American dream. It is a play about family, loss, regret, and the staggering power of fear. But ultimately, at its center, this is a play about love.

The show runs approx. 90 minutes. On the 21st there will be a talkback/Q&A with the cast, director and playwright.

Saturday & Sunday | August 13, 14, 20 & 21 | 8pm | FREE! – RSVP here!

SYNOPSIS:

ACROSS THE WAY by Perry Guzzi
Chris Spencer’s acting career has taken off and she’s moving herself and her sister Abby to Los Angeles. There’s a problem — the emotionally fragile Abby wants to stay behind in NYC to care for a dying stranger. As far as Chris is concerned that’s not going to happen; no matter the boundaries she must cross to stop it.

SILVER ALERT by Diane Sansevere-Dreher
Dina’s father, suffering from dementia takes off in his 1965 Cadillac. Dina issues a Silver Alert to find him and while searching for clues she uncovers the story of a father she never knew – a man her mother denies exists.

MY FAVORITE HUSBANDS by Andrew Marvel
Mark’s ex-boyfriend is tying the knot to a rising Republican assemblyman, with GOP big shots dotting the guest list. Despite the strong objections of his current boyfriend, Mark feels compelled to crash the wedding — in bad drag. A comedy about what happens now that gay marriage is here, and what might happen next!

SEX IN A COMA by Susan Eve Haar
A prosecutor on her own mission, a boy on a quest for love, and a girl who wants to wake up.
Sex in a Coma is a mystery, a Romeo and Juliet of the comatose –or a crime?
