THE OATH

Written by Jacqueline Goldfinger; Directed by Cristina Alicea.
ArcLight Theatre, NY

With Sarah Chaney, Anthony Crep, Louise Flory, Diánna Martin, Maureen O'Boyle and Robin Madel.

In this Southern Gothic tale, a wandering preacher is embroiled in the passions and politics of a swampy Florida outpost ruled with a macabre sense of justice by two rival sisters during the Great Depression. A darkly comic look at balancing ambition and ideals in a time of crisis.

ANAÏS NIN GOES TO HELL

Written by David Stallings; Directed by Cristina Alicea.
The Connelly Theater (New York International Fringe Festival)

With Shelly Feldman, Jeremy King, Kristina Kohl, Madalyn McKay, Colleen Piquette, Marnie Schulenburg and Aly Wirth.

Imagine an island in hell where Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, and Queen Victoria... wait for their men. What happens when women's lib icon Anaïs Nin arrives to turn their afterlife upside down? David Stallings' new comedy, Anaïs Nin Goes to Hell explores the question of whether Sartre was right and hell really is other people, or whether we carry around our potential for damnation or salvation within ourselves.
