Steve Cuiffo, Birgit Huppuch, Marin Ireland, Tasha Lawrence and Dallas Roberts will be the performers participating in Theatre for One, a uniquely intimate theatrical experience available to anyone on a first-come, first-served basis in Times Square, June 7-12.

Performances take place in a four foot by eight foot portable theater, and feature one performer playing to one audience member. The theater has been designed by Tony Award-winning set designer Christine Jones, and is presented in association with LOT-EK® Architects, True Love Productions and Times Square Arts. It was first presented in May 2010 as a commission of the Times Square Alliance.

Playwrights Zayd Dorn, Stephanie Fleischman, Jacquelyn Reingold, Emily Schwend and Beau Willimon have contributed five to ten minute works that have been specifically created for this venue, and which will be interpreted by the performers in rotation during a six day residency in Times Square. Some surprise musical guests may be interspersed between performances.

In addition to Jones, who also serves as artistic director of Theatre for One, the creative team includes Ana Cappelluto (lighting and costume designer), and LOT-EK®, Ada Tolla and Giuseppe Lignano (architects).

The performance schedule is as follows: Tuesday, June 7, 6-9pm, Wednesday through Friday, June 8-10, 7-11 pm, Saturday, June 11, 4-6pm & 7-1pm, and Sunday, June 12, 4-7:30pm.

Tickets are free, but donations are accepted.
