"Devices of Torture" opened over the weekend - & the Mistresses were pleasing!

"In the daring, delightfully scintillating, and damn tantalizing "Devices of Torture," the women have grown tired of waiting on the world to change. These dommes are making their own rules, and you better have thick skin, a whole lotta wit, and a big heart to play the game." - Zennie Trieu

We are also so fortunate to have our cast from May's workshop joining us again!

We will be performing:

What is Fractured Atlas, and what is fiscal sponsorship?

Fractured Atlas is a 501(c)(3) public charity, which makes it possible for those who have fiscal sponsorship to accept donations, which now includes us.

What this means for you is that contributions to The Skeleton Rep are now tax-deductible...
HALLELUJAH!

Ria's writing & directing the next Salon! - 7/28 @ 7pm

7/16/2018

I, Ria T. DiLullo, am so pleased to be sharing something I've written as part of the summer Salon Series - Agrodulce !

I will be presenting this work Saturday 7/28 @ 7pm,
will the help of the most incredible cast:
Barron Bass
Claire Buckingham
Michelle Cage
John Carlin
Brendan Cataldo
Emmanuel Linden-Broner
Dani Martineck
Courtney McClellan
Miranda Poett
John Racioppo

RSVP & BYOB

Those of you who have been following the salon series for a while might remember this show by another name. The script was presented as "Grief Lines" in January 2015. After a set of rewrites, it became clear that the title needed to change. "Agrodulce" is the Italian for "bittersweet" or "sour-sweet," which I believe more appropriately reflects just how dynamic a family becomes in the moments following the surprise and grief of a loss.

Please RSVP & BYOB. I look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers,
Ria AKA The Skeleton Rep

Something very special is happening tomorrow...!

You may remember a call to action from last year, asking for shorts about little known women in history. Dani Martineck wrote an incredible piece for Courtney McClellan about Cathay Williams, the first black woman to serve (undercover) with the Buffalo Soldiers, a specialist group of the army during the Civil War and the years beyond.

Less than a year later, the piece has been developed and performed through Urban Stages' Outreach program. After being performed throughout the spring, we are pleased to be able to share our work on the Urban Stages stage, for one night only* -
Saturday 7/7 @ 6pm
259 West 30th Street

$5 Tickets

*The performance is paired with the other Outreach program from this spring, which asks what happens when the Goddess of Love gets rejected, using only the text from a little known Shakespeare poem.

Ode to Buffy the Vampire Slayer - see for yourself!

"It was fantasy, colliding with the
Myths rising from my inevitable
Reality. Joss made the metaphor
Clearly: "High school is Hell." I felt prepared:
What is ahead will never be easy."

Check out what Ria has to say about her favorite tv show and the most influential programming she watched growing up, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" - in free verse.

This soliloquy was originally written and performed as the capstone piece to the May 2018 Salon Series, "Scenes from Service," where writers were asked to place a mythological or legendary figure inside of a service industry and see where it takes them.
Enjoy and share with Buffy fans!
