constantly updating the cast list*: For audiences that enjoy plays that are filled with
irony and writing that mixes comedy with drama, the following
one-acts fit the bill and make for a fabulous afternoon of
theatre. Tuesday, March 16 Pop by Michael Cristofer (author of Pulitzer-prize winning play, The Shadow Box and the film, Witches of Eastwick) with Judd Hirsch "Pop" by Michael Cristofer is a beautifully
written one-act play that deals with a father and son
relationship. The language is simple and understated,
the relationship is complex and filled with a lifetime of miscommunications
and longings. What is said tells only a small part of the picture,
what is not said speaks volumes. Written by writer ("Shadowbox," winner of the Pulitzer Prize
and "Witches of Eastwick"), director and actor
(currently in Arthur Miller's "A View From the Bridge") Michael Cristofer, "Pop" is
for everyone who has ever had a father! Last update: March 9, 2010. *Casts and plays are subject to change.
