News DirectorFest 2010, Featuring Four One-Acts Directed By Drama League Fellows, to Play TBG Theatre The fall fellows of the Drama League Directors Project will stage four one-act plays as part of DirectorFest 2010, which is scheduled to run Dec. 9-12 at TBG Theatre.

A list of the one-acts featured follows:

Poof!
Written by Lynn Nottage
Directed by Tyrone Brown
"Poof! tells the story of a housewife coping with life a few moments after her abusive husband spontaneously combusts, leaving a pile of ash on the kitchen floor. The play confronts the issue of domestic violence, offering a witty perspective on a serious subject: if you really get what you wish for, are you ready to deal with the consequences?"

Linda Powell will play Loureen, and Nikki E. Walker will play Florence.

Audience
Written by Vaclav Havel
Directed by Rafael Gallegos
"Vanek, a writer working a day job in the brewery, visits the Brewmaster’s office to talk about how his job is going at the factory and is offered a promotion if he will inform on himself."

Doug Wert will portray the Brewmaster, and Stephen Tyrone Williams will play Vanek. Snow Day
Written by Eliza Clark
Directed by Lila Neugebauer
"Since a failed attempt at living in New York, Nate’s been killing time--for a few years now--working at the dingy thrift store in his hometown. When a bomb threat is called in at the local high school and Nate’s younger sister Lindsay comes by looking for a ride, her company seems like the last thing he needs. But after a run-in with a girl from the past, Nate and Lindsay are both forced to consider whether they really know what it is they need. A comedy about the pain of being stuck."

Greg Keller will play Nate, Julie Jesneck will play Carol and Reyna De Courcy will play Lindsay.

The Furniture Fire
Written by Thomas Higgins
Directed by Jeremy Bloom
"In an empty house, a married couple, Clark and Jane, explains to the audience how they joined a cult, and found surprising solace in burning all of their earthly possessions in an attempt to burn away the painful memories they represent. Darkly witty on the surface, The Furniture Fire has tragic undertones and touches on themes of death, renewal, purging and burning away the past."

The cast will feature Birgit Huppuch as Jane, Marc Damon Johnson as Clark, Alenka Kraigher as Wanda and Stephen Bradbury as Martie."

The TBG Theatre is located at 312 West 36th Street. Tickets are $18 and are available by calling (212) 868-4444 or visiting smarttix.com.
