WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Play Company kicks off its 2007-2008 season with the American premiere of Bad Jazz, by Robert Farquhar, directed by Trip Cullman.
Bad Jazz chronicles the lives of young artists in pursuit of a shared dream, as an actress takes a role that puts her sanity at risk, an actor struggles to remain true to his artistic ideals, and a director drives his company past the point of reason. When the lines between reality and performance begin to blur, relationships are tested and this group of desperate souls is forced to ask themselves how far they're prepared to go for art's sake. Trip Cullman directs Robert Farquhar's gleefully raunchy satire illustrating what can happen when art imitates life and life imitates art.

In the play, director Gavin (Rob Campbell) is staging an experimental new work by troubled playwright Hannah (Susie Pourfar) -- a piece that requires lead actress Tash (Marin Ireland) to give her co-star Danny (Ryan O'Nan) an actual blow-job, live onstage. This doesn't sit well with Tash's boyfriend Ben (Darren Goldstein), and producer Danielle (Pourfar again) also has some iss[...]
