Open: 01/20/12- Close: 01/28/12 A Hole in his Heart
A Hole in His Heart follows the story of James Logan – a budding young film star who reunites
with an old lover.  

Though wildly successful, James struggles with feelings of loneliness and insatiability, and has
found that all the money in the world won’t fill the emptiness that’s rapidly consuming his soul. 
 
In James’ absence, the young girl’s self‐esteem has all but withered away, and upon his arrival
she is at her wits end.  As they attempt to reconnect, they experience a series of events that will change
their lives forever.
 
A Hole In His Heart is a play about mistakes, love, and the definition of success.  The script has
been in development for three years.

A DOLL'S HOUSE & A DOLL'S LIFE: THE MUSICAL

The Beautiful Soup Theater Collective is proud to announce their January, 2012 theatrical event.

In NORA, in rep, Beautiful Soup presents a classic look at Ibsen’s play and a new look at the famed Broadway 1982 flop, A Doll’s Life, which is a sequel of sorts.

B.S.T.C is a not-for-profit off-off-Broadway and non-Equity theater company specializing in new looks at classic works. Proceeds from the box offices of our productions are donated to a charity whose mission matches the themes of the play or musical being presented.

Open: 01/26/12- Close: 02/12/12 WOYZECK
WOYZECK is the story of the working class. It is a tale of one man’s downward spiral due to his passive reactions to the fires that surround him. Soldier Franz Woyzeck is everyone's man but his own. To his superiors he is just an ant marching in line. To his comrades, a weak and pathetic soldier, to his doctors, a specimen for medical experimentation. As Woyzeck’s mental stability deteriorates and his wife’s actions with another man are questioned, he hears the fires of nature burn within him - pushing him down a gruesome path of which he cannot escape. WOYZECK can be explained at it’s simplest as “one man’s fight to rid the darkness that haunts him, whatever the cost.”
