The Gingerbread House

Rattlestick Playwrights Theater is proud to host one of New York’s most exciting theater companies, the stageFARM as they present the world premiere of the exciting new play from Mark Schultz, The Gingerbread House.

THE GINGERBREAD HOUSE
written by Mark Schultz
directed by Evan Cabnet

April 11 – May 10, 2009
Tuesday – Saturday 8pm, Sunday 5pm

“Brian and Stacey want a better life, the life they deserve. But what they’re willing to do to get it will destroy their family, rip them apart…and finally get them into the Club.”

stageFARM artistic director Alex Kilgore says: “The Gingerbread House is timely, particularly in this economic climate, as a dark fairy tale of upward mobility and inverted priorities. It’s as terrifying as it is hilarious. Mark’s voice is revolutionary, his rhythm cut-throat, and his language sharp, spare, and deadly accurate.”

the stageFARM is a non-profit off-broadway theater company dedicated to commissioning / producing relevant new plays for a new audience. the stageFARM believes many people lack interest in the theater today because they neither recognize, nor identify with, what they see on stage. For a generation weaned on the immediacy of MySpace and YouTUBE, the theater is often runner-up in the entertainment race – alienating people with its cost, pretense, and elitism.

the stageFARM is committed to producing plays by playwrights whose voices engage our restless generation.
