From: City Island Theater Group

Auditions for Ripcord This Weekend!

A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden.?

Friday, April 11 @ 7PM & Saturday, April 12 @ 2PM

Check out The United States vs Ulysses at The Irish Arts Center this Spring!

Presented in association with The Brandt Jackson Foundation

From Once Off Productions

Written by Colin Murphy

Directed by Conall Morrison

It’s 1933, and James Joyce’s sexually explicit Ulysses has been banned in the U.S. for a decade. But now a hungry young publisher and an ambitious lawyer have teamed up to take on the puritans. Can they convince the judge that Ulysses is not obscene? And what will happen when Ulysses gets under their skin—and Molly Bloom gets into their heads?

The United States vs Ulysses is a bawdy courtroom drama telling the true story of the New York trial that liberated James Joyce’s seminal novel from American censorship and made Joyce a cultural icon.

Cast: Clare Barrett, Ross Gaynor, Morgan C Jones, Mark Lambert, Ali White, Jonathan White
