Industry Night X
February 18 – March 13, 2016by Kenneth Lonergan Directed by Matthew Decker
Jeff, a hapless young security guard working at a
Manhattan high-rise, is just trying to get his life
together after being thrown out of the navy. When
he finds himself drawn into a local police investigation,
Jeff must decide between loyalty to William, his
supervisor, or disclosing what he knows to Dawn, a
rookie cop involved in the case. This tangled morality
play – dealing with the damage caused by impure
motives, police corruption and racial profiling –
is written by Oscar-nominated writer Kenneth
Lonergan (You Can Count on Me,
Gangs of New York).

May 12 - June 5, 2016by Becky Mode
Directed by Kathryn MacMillan
Sam, an eager young actor, manages the phone lines at Manhattan’s hottest
restaurant. He fields threats, bribes, and histrionics from customers
seeking a table, all the while trying to land the acting job of his dreams
before his ego-maniacal boss gives him the boot. Barrymore Award-winning actor Michael Doherty, last seen here as Jack in Into the Woods, plays over
40 roles in this laugh-out-loud comedy about how far people will go...
to get a dinner reservation.
“…immensely
entertaining, a richly
comic affirmation of
everything I’ve ever heard,
or suspected, about the
bad behavior that good
food can inspire.”
