A violently funny and disturbing excavation of the dirty corners of our imaginations. A pair of radical feminist ex-strippers scour the country on a murderous rampage against right-wing pro-lifers, blogging about their exploits in gruesome detail. Meanwhile, a scruffy screenwriter named Owen tries to bang out his magnum opus in a hotel room as his best friend Rodney ("The Rod") pontificates on rape and other manly enterprises. When Owen decides to incorporate the strippers into his screenplay, the boundaries of reality begin to blur, and only a visit from Jane Fonda can help keep worlds from blowing apart.
The cast of That Pretty Pretty; or, The Rape Play includes: Joseph Gomez (NY stage debut), Lisa Joyce (Red Light Winter, Blackbird, U.S. Drag), Greg Keller (Steve & Idi, The Seagull - BAM), Annie McNamara (God's Ear) and Danielle Slavick (NYC stage debut).

BADGE -- a 2006 semi-finalist for the National Playwrights Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Conference -- is a new dark comedy by Matthew Schneck. Boy Scouts is the only refuge that keeps 28 year-old Roy (played by Greg McFadden, seen last season on Broadway in THE CAINE MUTINY COURT-MARTIAL opposite David Schwimmer) and his life together. It keeps it sane, and most importantly, keeps it the same. That is, until his Scout Master's uninhibited sister walks into his life, making him do very "unScoutlike" things. In this wild ride, things may finally change for Roy...maybe it's not a great time to go off the meds.
