When Pipsy, a pedigree cocker spaniel, lands at Bitchfield Animal Shelter, she becomes the center of a turf war between dogs & cats. Initially a long-running Serial, LOCKED UP BITCHES is a sweet, psychotic, queer, & outrageously funny hip-hop parody mash- up of a certain Netflix prison drama & Bernstein-Sondheim musical.

  • Elevator Repair Service
    ELEVATOR REPAIR SERVICE ABRONS ARTS CENTER A CONVERSATION BETWEEN JOHN COLLINS AND KATE SCELSA Kate Scelsa: So, John! John Collins: Kate, you’ve worked as a company member with ERS for about sixteen years now…And it turns out that you were doing stealth research for all these years on what would be perfect parts to write for some of our actors. KS: This is going to sound very sentimental, but writing this play has really felt like a love letter to this company. So it’s that, combined with my very deep love for Edward Albee’s play and specifically for the character of Martha. JC: And it’s exciting for me because I’m getting to work with one of my favorite novelists, who wrote one of my favorite books of the past couple of years. KS: Thank you for that plug. JC: It also fits in really nicely with the shows you’ve worked on with us, taking another work of great American literature as a jumping off point. And looking at the parts you’ve played in ERS shows, there have been a lot of Marthas in your life. KS: I’ve always been very interested in whether or not embodying that kind of female rage could be seen as sympathetic. Even powerful. Or if those women just become the shrew. Which means their rage can be dismissed. JC: Well you take Martha, who’s an extreme character… KS: She doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. But what are the consequences of that attitude? For most of Albee’s play we see Martha as this incredible feminist character, in that she and her husband are on equal footing, and that’s what makes it so fascinating to watch, and fun to play.

  • Chapter 23: Response to Comments on the SDEIS1
    Chapter 23: Response to Comments on the SDEIS1 A. INTRODUCTION This chapter summarizes and responds to all substantive comments on the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) published in March 2003 for the Second Avenue Subway. Public review for the SDEIS began on March 2003, with publication and distribution of the document. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) held two public hearings to receive comments on the document: on May 12, 2003 in the auditorium of the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House at One Bowling Green (Lower Manhattan); and on May 13, 2003, in the Hecksher Auditorium at El Museo del Barrio, 1230 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street in East Harlem). The public comment period remained open until June 10, 2003. The SDEIS was circulated to involved and interested agencies and other parties and posted on the MTA’s website, and notice of its availability and the public hearing were published in the Federal Register on April 11, 2003. To advertise the public hearing, MTA published notices in the New York Post, Hoy, Amsterdam News, Chinese World Journal, and New York Daily News. In addition, information on the public hearing was posted on the MTA’s website, a notice of public hearing was mailed to all public officials and interested parties in the MTA service area; and a press release announcing the hearing was sent to all media outlets in the area. Bilingual signs announcing the hearing were posted in all MTA New York City Transit (NYCT) subway stations and on some buses. Brochures were handed out in major Manhattan East Side NYCT subway stations.
