When Tang Met Laika
by Rogelio Martinez
Directed by Terrence J. Nolen
In the 1990s Americans and Russians started to work together
building the International Space Station. With more than
a half century of hostilities under their space suits,
can two old foes start to trust one another again? A play
about the cold war warming up, a space shuttle program
finding its purpose as it nears retirement, one very large
robotic arm, weightlessness, and a gun.
4:00 pm
What's That Smell: The Music of Jacob Sterling
Book & lyrics by David Pittu and music by Randy Redd
Co-Directed by Neil Pepe and David Pittu
An absurd musical-theater satire featuring songs and stories
from the fictitious career of composer/lyricist Jacob
Sterling and presented in a cable talk show format. A
rare opportunity to catch up with an artist of questionable
gifts as he discusses his inspiration and performs from
his stunning repertoire of misbegotten shows. Written
by and starring David Pittu, and featuring songs with
lyrics by Mr. Pittu and music by Randy Redd.
