Dixon Place presents

Umbrella Houses

Created and performed by Nick Lewis & Emerie Snyder
Directed by Jess K Smith

Saturday, April 28th
9:30 pm

Dixon Place
161A Chrystie Street
New York, NY 10002

Fact: The earliest metal-framed umbrellas were made using surplus steel ribs from corsets. Isn't it funny how the same things that hold you in, also hold the world out?

Umbrella Houses is a play about a man on a stage and a woman on the run, and how the things that protect you can just as easily collapse. He lives alone in an empty theatre--until he invents an audience to keep him company. She spends all her days traveling the world, sending gifts to random strangers who never write back. And you arrive just in time to see what happens when their paths collide.

Naturally, there will be a dance number. Dorothy and Scarecrow make an appearance, too.

Umbrella Houses will be performed on April 28th as part of Dixon Place's Works-in-Progress series. This is a one night only event, so get your TICKETS now!

ALSO! DRINKS! The Dixon Place Lounge is open before, during, and after the show. Proceeds directly support Dixon Place's artists and mission.

Clean follows six characters’ interwoven stories as they question the utter arbitrariness of love. A 10-year-old boy painfully in love with a Catholic priest; a virgin housewife and world-wise drag queen slowly falling for each other; and a macho father and his angry son, both at a loss for how to reach the women they love.

Ben Brantley of The New York Times describes Edwin Sánchez as a playwright of tremendous emotional conviction ... a playwright to watch closely.” This reading will be the first time that Clean has been presented in NYC since its 1997 production by the Atlantic Theater Company.

The reading will be directed by Emerie Snyder, Artistic Director of The Intentional Theatre Group. Praise from a review of her most recent directing project, NeverCracked: "Director Emerie Snyder has crafted two appealing works that cling to honesty and humanity." (nytheatre.com)
