Theater J has announced its 2009-2010 season, which will kick off with Jim Brochu starring in his solo play Zero Hour (August 29-September 27), a penetrating study of the fantastically contrary and hilarious star, Zero Mostel, artist, activist and blacklisted actor. Piper Laurie will direct. Next up will be Neil Simon's Lost in Yonkers (October 21-November 29), about two brothers are left to fend for themselves in a dysfunctional household with their formidable immigrant grandmother. Jerry Whiddon will direct a cast that includes Tana Hicken, Holly Twyford, Lise Bruneau, and Marcus Kyd with Kevin Bergen, Kyle Schliefer, and Max Talisman.

Judy Gold will star in her solo Mommy Queerest (December 16-January 3), a multi-media memoir with original music featuring her hysterical takes on being a working gay mom and raising two boys in New York City. Dan Crane and Karl Miller will star in Itamar Moses' two-hander The Four of Us (January 20-February 21), about how success alters the relationship between two best friends. Daniel DeRay will direct.

Josh Kornbluth will star in his solo, Andy Warhol: Good for the Jews? (March 6-21), to be directed by David Dower, and provide a humorous and penetrating take on ten Jewish luminaries as painted by Andy Warhol in his controversial 1980 series, Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century. Winter Miller's In Darfur (March 31-April 18), will be directed by Derek Goldman and feature Lucas Beck, Jessica Frances Duke, Carl James, Rahaleh Nassri, Erika Rose, Deidra LaWan Starnes, and Brandon White. The piece is inspired by Miller's travels with New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, and centers on three intertwined lives at a refugee camp for internally displaced persons in Darfur.

Hadar Galron's Mikveh (May 5-June 5), tells eight women's stories in this sensitive depiction of religious observance and evolving feminist consciousness. Shirley Serotsky will direct a cast that includes Carla Briscoe, Lise Bruneau, Rachel Condliffe, Helen Pafumi, Tonya Beckman Ross, Amal Saade, and Kimberly Scfraf. The season will conclude with David Ives' New Jerusalem, about the 1656 Interrogation of Baruch de Spinoza at Talmud Torah Congregation. Jeremy Skidmore will direct Alexander Strain as Spinoza, with the cast also featuring Larry Redmond, Michael Tolaydo, Ethan Bowen, Lauren Culpepper and Brandon McCoy.
