"NURSES IN NEW ENGLAND" TO RUN AT OHIO THEATRE 7/28-31
Published 2010-07-28
Nurses in New England, an intimate look at a coastal New England hospital run entirely by nurses, will play at the Ohio Theatre July 28-31. Nurses in New England is being presented by Soho Think Tank's Ice Factory 2010, performed by Half Straddle; a New York based experimental theater company. Tickets are $15 General Admission, $10 Students & Seniors. Half Straddle is the only first time ICE Factory participant in this year's lineup.
Nurses in New England is a musically-enhanced glimpse into an idiosyncratic coastal hospital where female nurses run surgeries, secret-smoke, and balance friendship, forgotten love, and conflicted ambition-with the daily stakes of life and death. A comedic and poignant look at the desire to make amazing miracles.
With an original live score by Chris Giarmo, soul-searing songs, and favorite downtown performers including Erin Markey, Jess Barbagallo, and Annie McNamara, among others, Nurses in New England is the latest piece from writer/director Tina Satter.
Nurses in New England was written and directed by Tina Satter.
Original music by Chris Giarmo (Big Dance Theater, Witness Relocation).
Featuring Jess Barbagallo (Big Dance Theater, Theatre of the Two-Headed Calf), Eliza Bent, Emily Davis, Erin Markey (FAMILY, Puppy Love: A Stripper's Tail), Annie McNamara* (Elevator Repair Service), Lena Moy-Bergen*, Julia Sirna-Frest, and Greg Zuccolo.
