microcrisis is closing in Philly this weekend. So head on over to InterAct Theater to catch the end of the run: http://www.interacttheatre.org/ http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/phillystage/138100018.html There's also a reading of my new play "Bike America," directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel, which is going down as part of Ma-Yi's Winter Labfest. The cast announcement is coming up but in the meantime some more details are below. BIKE AMERICA Saturday 2/18, 2:30pm The Beckett on Theater Row (410 West 42nd St) Penny is damaged. She doesn't know who she is or her place in the world. So she drops everything – especially her boyfriend – to go on a cross-country bike trip from Boston to Santa Barbara. Staged on stationary bikes and set in iconic towns across the country (and the highways between them), Bike America captures the restlessness of a millennial generation that will go to any length to find a place that always seems just out of reach. If you're in the Philly area, check out my play microcrisis at InterAct. The play is a satire about the world's next financial crisis, spun off of microcredit loans to the poor. I've been attending rehearsals and am very excited about the director and cast - it's going to be fun! More info here. SUNDAY 11/27: Ma-Yi Secret Santa 11/22/2011
