MARIELA EN EL DESIERTO
Mariela and José were once the golden couple of the Mexican artist inner-circle. Together
they built a family and an artist colony to host friends like Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo,
and Rufino Tamayo. But now their daughter has grown and run away, Frida and Diego
are too famous to call, and artistic inspiration has been strangled by isolation and
mendacity. Set in an empty artists’ colony in the Mexican desert in 1950, this mystery
play reveals what happens to relationships when a long hidden family lie is exposed.

Where's My Money?
Marriage and its discontents are the subject of WHERE'S MY MONEY? When Celeste, an out-of-work actor who's cheating on her boyfriend with a married man, runs into Natalie, an accountant married to a lawyer, Natalie gives the impression of being very together and does not approve of Celeste's lifestyle. "I don't know any other way to put this," she tells her. "You're a whore." But Natalie's life is not nearly as together as it appears. Her marriage with Henry is hanging by a thread, and she's being visited by the ghost of an ex-boyfriend who claims she owes him money. Sardonic and caustic, WHERE'S MY MONEY? vivisects the institution of marriage with Shanley's inimitable razor-sharp wit.Venue: Cherry Lane Studio : 38 Commerce Street |
