To benefit South Broward Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8195

“… a little gem that has a pretty satisfying mystery at its center…you get to absorb Lanford Wilson’s terrific dialogue, and appreciate how and when he reveals precisely what we need to know in the natural flow of the narrative.” – MichiganLive

March 26, 2015

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL: Landford Wilson’s Redwood Curtain is a thought-provoking exploration of memories – of families, of secrets, and of war – set in the towering redwood forests of Northern California. The play stunned 1992 Broadway audiences with its unique spin on a Vietnam veteran and the mysterious young Asian woman who tracks him down.

Primal Forces Productions will present this powerful commentary on the effects of war and remembrance from April 17th through May 3rd at Andrews Living Arts in Fort Lauderdale. And in keeping with the play’s theme, a percentage of the production’s revenue will be donated to Broward County’s VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Post 8195.

“With Redwood Curtain Primal Forces concludes its three-play series on the effects of the counterculture on today’s generation,” says producer Keith Garsson. “The play was written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lanford Wilson, who was an early force in the off-Broadway theatre of the 1960s and 70s. This being the last of our trilogy, we are finishing on a lighter and more hopeful tone than was presented in both The Anarchist and Sunset Baby.

“Wilson’s characters are usually lost or forgotten Americans, left high and dry by events beyond their control,” Garsson continues, “However his characters eschew preaching and sermonizing and have accepted their fate – presented as headstrong forces within the ensuing drama. Redwood Curtain  adds a new touch: the character of Geri, a young woman who endures a lonely and mysterious journey into the Redwood Forest to seek answers to her own past, but learns some shattering truths along the way.”

“Redwood Curtain was Wilson’s last show produced for Broadway, however, as in our prior productions we felt the intimacy of the drama would be enhanced by the up-close-and-personal setting of Andrews Living Arts,” Garsson explains. “And we’re fortunate to have a South Florida legend, set designer Tim Bennett, who has recreated one of the most beautiful areas of the country on stage.”

The production will star Ethan Henry, Laura Turnbull, and newcomer Amarie Lee.
Redwood---trioHenry who received rave reviews in Primal Forces’ recent production of Sunset Baby, is fascinated by his character, and the play: “This is one of the most challenging plays I’ve ever read,” he says. “My character, Lyman Fellers, has chosen to seclude himself in the woods, and he wants to be left alone; but he’s forced to look inside himself when he’s confronted by someone else.”

The Florida Veterans of Foreign Wars has a rich tradition of serving veterans, military families and their local communities. Twenty-three members of Post 8195, under the guidance of Post Commander Bobby White, recently collaborated on a book titled Post 8195: Black Soldiers Tell Their Vietnam Stories. The entire proceeds from the play’s opening night performance and reception as well as a percentage of the funds generated by all Redwood Curtain ticket sales will be donated to Post 8195; the book will be available for sale at Andrews Living Arts during the run of the play.

Tickets for Redwood Curtain are $25 ($12.50 for veterans) and can be purchased on line at www.primalforcesproductions.com, or by phone at 866-811-4111. Andrews Living Arts Studio is located at 23 NW Fifth Street in Fort Lauderdale.

Post 8195: Black Soldiers Tell Their Vietnam Stories, by Bobby White
VFW Post 8195 in West Park, Florida, through the Stone of Hope Program, organized services and programs to help Vietnam and other military veterans and their families who had special needs. “The Vietnam War was physically, spiritually and emotionally exhausting for us,” says Post Commander Bobby White. In this unique collection, he has brought together the words of 23 veterans who witnessed the war’s cruelty and brutality. Through their testimonies, White reminds us that the war’s impact has been long-lasting, with both negative and positive results. Readers will be riveted by their narratives of racism, hostile battlefields, ambush zones, fire fights, land mines, flashbacks, search-and-destroy missions, military police operations, working with K-9s, and finally addressing and putting the PTSD issues at ease.
Available at Amazon.com.

Critical Praise for Redwood Curtain:

“Redwood Curtain” is … a state-of-the-nation piece for the early 1990’s. Its disturbing subject is the self-destructive American habit of practicing amnesia about all its past nightmares, not just those of Vietnam. Standing in rootless contrast to the trees around them, the people in this play, and by implication their country, cannot find their way out of the woods until they figure out how they got stranded there in the first place.” – NY Times

“Redwood Curtain is equal parts fairy tale, mystery and comedy. Wilson skillfully blends fantastic, magical, suspenseful, and human elements to produce an intimate human drama.” – Variety

“A journey into the American psyche . . . The gritty and/or down home realism of Wilson’s best plays has been combined with magical qualities that make the work a kind of folk/fairy mystery tale.” – Seattle Times

Primal Forces
Second Season promises
Two Entertaining & Thought-Provoking Productions

Sunset Baby: “[A] smart and bracing new play about two generations of urban outlaws struggling to stay afloat in the lower depths.” – New York Times

Redwood Curtain: “… a little gem that has a pretty satisfying mystery at its center…you get to absorb Lanford Wilson’s terrific dialogue, and appreciate how and when he reveals precisely what we need to know in the natural flow of the narrative.” – MichiganLive

Ft. Lauderdale, FL , October 21, 2014:

Primal Forces Productions has chosen two entertaining and thought provoking pieces for its second season. The young company’s successful production of David Mamet’s The Anarchist in March of 2014 has encouraged producer Keith Garsson to continue its mission to “explore the impact of the tumultuous 1960s on today’s generation.” Both plays will be presented at Andrews Living Arts in Ft. Lauderdale.

SunsetWebSiteDominique Morisseau’s Sunset Baby, which premiered Off-Broadway in November 2013 will begin previews on November 29th, open on December 5th, and run through December 21st. John Archie will star as a former revolutionary looking to connect with his daughter (Makeba Pace) in present-day Brooklyn. “He finds that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” explains Garsson.

Redwood_WebsiteLanford Wilson’s Redwood Curtain stunned Broadway audiences in 1992 with its unique spin on a Vietnam veteran (Ethan Henry) and the mysterious young Asian woman (Amarie Lee) who tracks him down in the forests of Northern California exasperating her guardian (Jacqueline Laggy.) Redwood Curtain will begin previews on April 4th, 2015, open on April 10th, and runs through April 26th.

“The turbulent 60s provides a wealth of nostalgia and entertainment value to audiences looking for drama with a lot of meat. However, even if you weren’t there, you will be fascinated and enthralled by how different a country we were less than 50 years ago,” says Garsson.

Tickets for Sunset Baby and Redwood Curtain are $25 (tickets for preview performances are $20) and can be purchased on line at www.primalforcesproductions.com, or by phone at 866-811-4111. Andrews Living Arts Studio is located at 23 NW Fifth Street in Fort Lauderdale.

Primal Forces Productions is offering complimentary tickets to both Sunset Baby and Redwood Curtain to members of Actors Equity, SAG, AFTRA, the South Florida Theatre League, and students with valid ID. (Limit of four tickets per order). For more information about this offer, contact primalforcesproductions@gmail.com .

Pigs Do Fly Productions will hold two readings of humorous short plays at Coral Gables’ Books & Books on January 25th and February 1st.

The award-winning company commissioned top South Florida playwrights Michael McKeever and Michael Leeds to write for them, and their plays are among those scheduled to be read.

And several months ago Pigs Do Fly Productions also put out a call to playwrights from across the United States for submissions of 10-minute contemporary comedies written to highlight “vibrant, healthy people over 50 who are doing interesting things with their lives”. Over 300 plays were submitted and a committee of 6 took on the task of reading and rating each one.  The plays that will be read were rated the highest of the lot, and audiences will be asked for their input and their opinions at the end of each reading. The top five selections, along with the plays by McKeever and Leeds will form Pigs Do Fly’s next production, scheduled to take place in May at Andrews Living Arts.

Cohan – capturing in 95 fast-moving minutes the essence of the man, his music, and the fabulous era of show business he came up in.  A dazzling showcase for a song-and-dance man with flair. Peterson, who has received rave reviews everywhere he has performed this show, channels a swift, colorful portrayal of this most fiercely American musical figure. Peterson, played the Emcee in a recent Broadway revival of Cabaret, starred in Stage Door’s production of Song Man Dance Man two years ago.

But will she give into the one thing that will take away her magical powers forever? One of John van Druten’s greatest comedy successes, Bell, Book, and Candle has been called “…completely enchanting—a wonderfully suave and impish fantasy.” (New York Times).

So when a muddy and very dirty Princess Jasmine catches the Prince’s eye unexpectedly, the Queen insists she pass the “pea under the mattress” test to prove she really is a princess. Only it’s not one thin mattress we’re talking about here, it’s thirteen mattresses, four feather comforters, and eight queen-size pillows! And not only that, but Jasmine wears ear muffs, a night mask, and is very, very tired! Does Jasmine pass the extremely unfair princess test? A comic jester, a rather confused king and a pompous announcer add to the merriment.

DroodThis wildly warm-hearted theatrical experience kicks off when the Music Hall Royale (a hilariously loony Victorian musical troupe) “puts on” its flamboyant rendition of an unfinished Dickens mystery. The story itself deals with John Jasper, a Jekyll-and-Hyde choirmaster who is quite madly in love with his music student, the fair Miss Rosa Bud. Now, Miss Bud is, in turn, engaged to Jasper’s nephew, young Edwin Drood. Our title character disappears mysteriously one stormy Christmas Eve – but has Edwin Drood been murdered? And if so, then whodunnit?

Cirquesco poster 1Cirquesco
The lights dim.  Sultry jazzy chords are heard in the distance. Through a mist of haze, exotic creatures emerge. Welcome to the sensual experience that is Cirquesco. Combining the magical artistry of a European circus with the flirtatious camp of burlesque, Cirquesco is an intimate evening of song, dance, humor, and mind-blowing acrobatics.
Prepare for a steamy journey through your most taboo inhibitions. Experience the innocence and desire of the Argentinean tango, the rambunctious dance of the Moulin Rouge’s femmes fatale, the smoky desires that linger in a sultry cabaret boudoir. Featuring gorgeous costuming, an electrifying score and seductive choreography, Cirquesco explores our most treasured emotion … love.

B’nai Torah Congregation

Directed by: Carol Fox Prescott
voom_banner2012-1[1][1]Breathing life into ancient texts and told this time from the point of view of the women, In The Voice of Our Mothers reveals the intimate and powerful narratives of our Biblical matriarchs. As they invite us into their worlds, we see we are in familiar territory. Here are generations of women, learning, risking, and loving in all its complicated forms. We witness their journey through deserts of discovery, moving with audacity towards that female dance of freedom on the other side of the sea, which is no longer there. A joyous theatrical event filled with dance, tambourines, and the ancient sounds of the shofar. A talkback with the author will take place after the production.
