FRUIT BAT SAFARI CAMP by John-Richard Thompson and directed by Philip Potak.
Estelle Van der Phloog, Park Avenue matron and Society Goddess, believes an African Safari can’t be all bad…an elegant tented camp, fashionable safari-wear, an animal or two, nothing too strenuous. This changes immediately when she and her husband Chippy end up in Fruit Bat Safari Camp, a nightmare of a resort featuring eccentric Brits, a hostile German, and no end of renegade hyenas. A wild comedy from the wilds of Africa.
 
WHAT COMES AROUND by Philip Potak and directed by John-Richard Thompson.
Play opens in the home of the Secrest Family on the day of a party that never happens. Lies, secrets and omissions are the components of this typical family’s mosaic. Oh, did I mention the drinking and libidinous deceit? Come to think of it, all seven sins jigsaw their way into this multi-generational portrait.

DAVID LEVESON

Opening Reception

“Geologists see change everywhere. Over time, everything is in flux, everything participates in the universal dance. Rocks decay, landforms erode, species evolve. To the human eye, the degree of motion varies from infinitesimal to catastrophic. Rocky monoliths seem eternal, frozen in mid-stride. Desert floors, strewn with sediment, rearrange themselves during each storm and then rest until the next. Sea water stirs and crashes continuously.”

These photographs, taken in March, 2010 record those degrees of motion in evidence at the Plain of Sharon, the Wilderness of Zin, En Gedi, HaMachtesh HaKatan, and the Timna and Arava Valleys in Israel.

THE LIAR SHOW

1: THE STORIES
Every Liar Show performance is unique. A constantly changing cast of writers and comics tell four short, extremely personal stories that will make you laugh, possibly make you think, and almost certainly make you glad you don't live with them. But listen closely, because only three of these people are telling the truth. The fourth is making it all up.
2: THE INTERROGATION
After the stories have been told, all four performers return to the stage and defend their stories while the audience rakes them over the coals with a fact-finding question and answer session, refereed by the host.
3: THE VERDICT
Each audience member casts a ballot and when the Liar is revealed, the perceptive geniuses who have guessed correctly walk away with a prize T-shirt amid a bitter chorus of "Congratulations, Einstein," from the empty-handed losers.
At the Roxbury Arts Center, 5025 Vega Mountain Road, Roxbury, NY

Andy Christie will be hosting and telling a story as well, so the complete lineup is: Ophira Eisenberg of Comedy Central, Faye Lane - Beauty Shop Stories and Public Radio's Moth Radio Hour, Ed Gavagan - The Moth Mainstage and radio Hour and creator Andy Christie of the New York Times and NPR's CityScape.
