Two by Tavel

As a tribute to the memory of director Harvey Tavel, who originated the Theater of the Ridiculous with his brother, the playwright Ronald Tavel, Theater for the New City will present Two by Tavel, a double-header of “Kitchenette” and “Life of Juanita Castro,” directed by Norman Glick. These two ridiculous masterpieces, originally drafted as scenarios for Andy Warhol’s Film Factory, found their way to the stage in 1965 when Warhol suggested that Ronald Tavel try them out as theater.
