THE CLOSER
Written by Willy Holtzman     Directed by Daniella Topol
With Mary Bacon, Didi O'Connell, Richard Topol

Howie is a killer sales rep who has not found the deal he couldn't close.  He comes home to the first night in his new luxury co-op and encounters Al, a "neighbor" who refuses to leave.  Howie tries every trick in the book to rid himself of this unstable stranger.  But it's Al who turns Howie's safe bourgeois world on its head when he threatens to throw himself out the window.  Will Al jump?  Can Howie prevent it?  What happens when parallel worlds collide in New York City?

THE PRINCE AMONG MEN
Written by Eric Henry Sanders         Directed by Tyler Marchant
With Clark Ausloos, Jeff Brick, Denis Butkus, Gary Cowling, Seth Duerr, Corey Haydu, Christopher Salazar, Corey Wiesner

It's election season at Endover Academy and the race for Senior Class President is beginning to turn ugly. The Machiavellian Dickie, has convinced his best friend Bozo that joining the race will impress Bozo's father enough to loan them his beach house for Spring Break. But to win Bozo has to defeat Woody, the standing Junior Vice President and head of the debating society. A witty and erudite dark comedy about greed, power and the election process, The Prince Among Men bears a striking resemblance to the infamous 2000 U.S. election, though hopefully the consequences for the world economy won't be quite so disastrous.

  Both Readings will be held at 307 West 38th St, Suite 1510
RSVP with Tessa LaNeve at 212.840.9705 x 212
