~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geeta Citygirl, Artistic
Director -------------------------------------------------- A play by Betty Shamieh CHOCOLATE IN HEAT is a set of five interlocking monologues infused with music and dance that take an irreverent look at love, sex, privilege, and the problems of growing up in between two cultures. This show sold out at the NY Fringe Festival in August and its themes have a different resonance in light of recent events. Directed by Damen Amir Scranton February 21st thru March 10th, 2002 Post-performance discussion with artists on Thursday, Feb 28 and Thursday, March 7. Theater for the New City RESERVATIONS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: (212) 254-1109 "…one of the best written and best acted shows in this year’s New York International Fringe Festival… The stories open a world that is as attractive as it is unpleasant" – Time Out NY "Chocolate. Shoes. Breasts. Sand. Out of these elements Shamieh weaves her multi-layered prose poem" – nytheatre.com "very daring and personal" – curtainup.com Press contact: Timothy Haskell at 212.307.1118
