    NOISES OFF Page 1 of 7 **FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** February 25, 2019 Asolo Rep Continues its 60th Season with NOISES OFF Directed by Comedic Broadway Veteran Don Stephenson March 20 - April 20 (SARASOTA, February 25, 2019) — Asolo Rep continues its celebration of 60 years on stage with Tony Award®-winner Michael Frayn's rip-roaringly hilarious play NOISES OFF, one of the most celebrated farces of all time. Directed by comedic Broadway veteran Don Stephenson, NOISES OFF previews March 20 and 21, opens March 22 and runs through April 20 in rotating repertory in the Mertz Theatre, located in the FSU Center for the Performing Arts. A comedy of epic proportions, NOISES OFF has been the laugh-until-you-cry guilty pleasure of audiences for decades. With opening night just hours away, a motley company of actors stumbles through a frantic, final rehearsal of the British sex farce Nothing On, and things could not be going worse. Lines are forgotten, love triangles are unraveling, sardines are flying everywhere, and complete pandemonium ensues. Will the cast pull their act together on stage even if they can't behind the scenes? “With Don Stephenson, an extraordinary comedic actor and director at the helm, this production of NOISES OFF is bound to be one of the funniest theatrical experiences we have ever presented,” said Asolo Rep Producing Artistic Director Michael Donald Edwards. “I urge the Sarasota community to take a break and escape to NOISES OFF, a joyous celebration of the magic of live theatre.” Don Stephenson's directing work includes Titanic (Lincoln Center, MUNY), Broadway Classics (Carnegie Hall),Of Mice and Manhattan (Kennedy Center), A Comedy of Tenors (Paper Mill Playhouse) and more.

Rhea Perlman took over the role of Nora, after Rosie O’Donnell, became ill. Directed by Scott Elliott, this production will play a limited Off-Broadway engagement February 20 – April 1, with Opening Night on Thursday, March 8 at The Pershing Square Signature Center (The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre, 480 West 42nd Street). Through the microcosm of a rural Connecticut mental health center, Tony Award-winning playwright David Rabe conjures a whole American community on the edge. Like their patients and their families, Dr. Michaels (Ed Harris), his colleague Evangeline (Amy Madigan) and the clinic itself teeter between breakdown and survival, wielding dedication and humanity against the cunning, inventive adversary of mental illness, to hold onto the need to fight – and to live. Inspired by a real clinic, Rabe finds humor and compassion in a raft of richly drawn characters adrift in a society and a system stretched beyond capacity.

  • “Sky Blossom,” a “Variety Top 2021 Awards Season Contender,” Brings Innovative Film Launch Strategy to New York’S Famed 92Y
    “SKY BLOSSOM,” A “VARIETY TOP 2021 AWARDS SEASON CONTENDER,” BRINGS INNOVATIVE FILM LAUNCH STRATEGY TO NEW YORK’S FAMED 92Y First “all-inclusive” documentary of the year brings together Latino, Black, Asian, Native and White American Narratives. Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell join forces as Official Congressional Honorary Co-Chairs in rare bipartisan support for new film on student “care heroes.” January 9, 2021 (New York, NY)— The 92Y, one ​ of the leading cultural and community center in New York City, will present an exclusive screening and virtual conversation around the acclaimed documentary film “Sky Blossom: Diaries of the Next Greatest Generation” on Monday, January 11 at 6:30pET. Sky Blossom provides a raw, uplifting window into ​ the lives of 24.5 million students taking care of family with disabilities across America. The film in October was named by Variety as one of the “Top 25 2021 Awards Season Contenders.” “Viewers often say they cry, but because they are so inspired by the courage the students in the film demonstrate,” says the film’s director. Intersectional and All-Inclusive The film follows five students over three years, from Latino, Black, Asian, Native, and White American families in the military community. During a year of wide-reaching headlines of George Floyd, these families’ multicultural stories of homelessness, poverty, life and death, and more give us a look into what it means to be a Person of Color, a caregiver, a veteran, and more. The field film crew was 100% female, as was the composer of the original soundtrack and six original theme songs.
