Circumcise Me
A new comedy on the cutting edge. He's just your average Irish, Italian Catholic kid from Philly, Comic Actor, Sober
Alcoholic, Recovering Drug Addict, Husband, Father, Reform, Conservative, Unorthodox, Orthodox Jew. His name is
Yisrael Campbell, (the artist formerly known as Christopher), and this is his story - a spiritual journey stretching
across four decades, two continents, and three circumcisions. It’s that rare collision of comedy and theater that will
have women howling with laughter, men squirming in their seats, and everyone standing up to cheer. Poignant,
provocative, and powerfully witty, Circumcise Me is the true - and truly unforgettable - story of a man who was born to
be funny. The Jewish part came later.

The Common Air
Alex Lyras' solo comedy-drama The Common Air links six distinct characters during the mother of all delays at JFK
Airport. The reason is unknown and a spiraling game of "telephone" ensues in an effort to uncover the truth.
Characters include an Iraqi Cab Driver with a winning Reality show idea, an Art Gallery Owner seduced by ancient
Greek cave art, a Corporate Attorney imparting rapid fire, ethically gray advice, a sample stealing DJ named PJ, a
sinister Philosophy Professor mixing logic and irrationality in a west Texas accent, and an Iraqi-American just
returned from civil war in Baghdad.
What happens when the cell phones die and laptops lose their charge? When we're forced to revert to non-high-
speed communication? Are we even capable anymore, or have our brains devolved into hard drives that crash at the
slightest wave of turbulence?
The Los Angeles production of The Common Air won praise for Lyras and co-writer/director Robert McCaskill.
"Tensile energy and unflagging skill in this well-crafted, must-see show." - Los Angeles Times
"An emotionally involving, finely detailed performance. A tour de force exhibit of verbal and physical dexterity." - Variety
"One of the finest solo performances of 2008." - LA Stage Scene

Laura Solon: Rabbit Faced Story Soup
Monday 11 January 2010 at 8:00PM (1 hour) - One Night Only!
Perrier Award Winner
LAURA SOLON - one of the leading British female comics of her generation - is to make an exclusive appearance in
the US. The Perrier Award winning writer-performer who took the British circuit by storm with her 2005 debut is to
perform her critically acclaimed multi-character narrative Laura Solon: Rabbit Faced Story Soup for one-night-only this
Monday 11 January 2010 at New York’s The Green Room Theatre. Established as one of the fastest rising writers
and performers in British comedy, LAURA has worked alongside some of the industry’s leading names including
HARRY ENFIELD, JESSICA HYNES, AL MURRAY, DAVID TENNANT and PAUL WHITEHOUSE. She will be making a
flying visit (performing on Monday 11 January 2010 at The Green Room Theatre and then next week at Los Angeles’
Comedy Central Stage at The Hudson) direct from a totally sold out Edinburgh Festival Fringe and ahead of a jam-
packed winter, which will see LAURA embark on a 40-date tour and launch season three of her acclaimed BBC
Radio 4 show Talking and Not Talking.
It’s like The Wire. But with character comedy. And EVERYTHING from The Wire taken out. “A masterclass”
--Stephen Armstrong, Sunday Times.

The Bleecker Street Opera: "The Barber of Seville"
The Bleecker Street Opera, founded by former members of the much-missed Bowery institution the Amato Opera,
follows up its critical and popular hit L’amore dei tre re (The Love of Three Kings) with this Rossini favorite.
Conductor David Rosenmeyer and Director Vincent Titone lead the brilliant cast and orchestra in this popular and
delightful opera, in which clever Figaro helps the Count Almaviva disguise himself in order to win the love of the
beautiful Rosina and rescue her from her awful guardian Dr. Bartolo.
The Bleecker Street Opera was praised in the New York Times by critic Steve Smith, who declared that "the Amato
legacy is in good hands."

Nice Jewish girls Gone Bad
Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad is a refreshing mix of comedy, music, spoken-word and show-stopping burlesque,
featuring the gals who learned to smoke at Hebrew School, got drunk at their Bat-Mitzvahs and would rather have
more schtuppa than the chupah, featuring performers seen on Comedy Central, HBO and Late Night TV. These
badass chosen chicks boldly dare to deconstruct years of tradition, expectations and guilt in a fast-paced vaudeville
extravaganza. It's ain't yo' mama's Fiddler!

With puppets, music and comedy that just won’t quit, now families all over New York can join in on the adventure to
