ABOUT THE PLAYS:

The Tourists 
by Stephen Brown
directed by Courtney Ulrich
featuring Helen Coxe, Talaura Harms, & Will Gallacher 

Peggy and Debra have been to Japan. They’ve been to Germany. They’ve even been to Pennsylvania where they stayed on an Amish Farm for a weekend (Debra thought it was weird). But with Debra getting married, Peggy fears their trip to Paris might be their last. Through dance parties, tours of Notre Dame, and the seduction of a really hot bellhop named Dmetri, Peggy tries to hold on to the only thing she has left in the world: her friend Debra.

Stir Until Smooth
by Tim Pinckney
directed by Carl Andress
featuring Amy Hohn, Elizabeth Ward Land, & Mike Turner

Kate runs a successful specialty food shop in Brooklyn with her friend Mads.  Thanks to an appearance on a baking competition television show, Kate has been asked to write her first cookbook.  Along with recipes, the book will celebrate her long friendship with Mads and their late friend, Tommy who was Kate’s best friend and sometime lover.  Kate is forced to reexamine their complicated relationship when Tommy’s younger brother Sam shows up, trying to gather information about the brother he never knew.
Stir Until Smooth examines letting go of lost loves, the depth of friendship, and the power of baked goods.

IRT Theater is a grassroots laboratory for independent theater and performance in New York City, providing space and support to a new generation of artists. Tucked away in the old Archive Building in Greenwich Village,  IRT’s mission is to build a community of emerging and established artists by creating a home for the development and presentation of new work. Some of the artists we have supported include Young Jean Lee, Reggie Watts and Mike Daisey.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, New York State Council on the Arts, and The Nancy Quinn Fund, a project of ART-NY.
