The INTAR season had been in jeopardy following the sudden closure of the Zipper Factory, where performances were scheduled to begin Feb. 11. Rehearsals for the two plays continued despite the uncertain future of the INTAR season.

Performances of Eduardo Machado's In Paradise and Nick Norman's She Plundered Him will now begin Feb. 15 at the Cherry Lane Theatre and officially open Feb. 18. Performances continue through March 7.

"We are extremely grateful to the off-Broadway community. The response to our predicament has been overwhelming, proving again that theater folks are there when there's a crisis. This is truly one of those times when the show will go on! Thanks to our friends at the Cherry Lane," INTAR artistic director Eduardo Machado said in a statement.

Machado's In Paradise, according to press notes, begins as "an estranged husband shows up on his wife's doorstep. Carlos left Marilyn seven years ago for another man, but both the conflicts and chemistry between them feels as fresh as if they were never apart. Deserted by his lover, Carlos has returned to Marilyn for answers and salvation. As they delve into the remains of their shared history, the power struggle between them plays out through recrimination, eroticism, anger, and love. Can you help someone who betrayed you move forward, or will you always blame one single person for ruining your entire life?"

In Norman's She Plundered Him, press notes state, "the boundaries of familial relationships are tested in new and dangerous ways. Calder, already on a mental precipice, is convinced that he saw something unseemly pass between his wife, Keep, and son, Anthony…but did he? As Calder's obsessive jealousy spirals out of control and Keep and Anthony lie to him and one another, the family unit threatens to break irreparably. Throughout, the playwright employs heightened classical language infused with harsh vernacular, and the results are harrowing and brutal." In Paradise features Leslie Lyles and Ed Vasallo, while She Plundered Him features Lyles, James Chen and Mark Elliot Wilson. Billy Hopkins directs both productions.

The productions have designs by Maruti Evans (set and lighting) Michael Bevins (costumes) and Betsy Rhodes (sound).
