Well…I think it’s disgusting It looks like the beginning of a play. Soho Rep., in association with John Adrian Selzer, presents the world premiere of 10 out of 12 by Anne Washburn (Mr. Burns). The production, May 26–June 21, reunites the playwright with the Obie Award-winning director Les Waters, Artistic Director at Actors Theatre of Louisville. In 10 out of 12, a company of 14 is engaged in the very peculiar—and uniquely impossible—task of making a new play. Based on notes Washburn took during her past technical rehearsals, this Soho Rep. commission is a wry and absorbing look at how work forms us and deforms us. 10 out of 12 takes place during a technical rehearsal, re-creating the multi-layered experience of designers mixing cues, backstage gossip happening over headset and actors passing the time while the director struggles to contain the uncontainable. As these activities unfold simultaneously, the audience is given an intimate glimpse into the flurry of life that surrounds the act of theater making. The 14-member ensemble includes Quincy Tyler Bernstine as Stage Manager, Jeff Biehl as E3, Gibson Frazier as Ben/Charles, Rebecca Hart as Costumes, Nina Hellman as Siget/Old Lady/Lucille, Sue Jean Kim as Eva/Marie, Bruce McKenzie as Director, Garrett Neergaard as E2, Bray Poor as Sound, David Ross as Jake/Richard, Thomas Jay Ryan as Paul/Carstairs, Conrad Schott as Assistant Director, Wendy Rich Stetson as Lights and Leigh Wade as Jamie (ASM). The creative team includes David Zinn (sets), Justin Townsend (lights), Bray Poor (sound), Ásta Bennie Hostetter (costumes), George Hoffmann & Greg Kozatek (props); and Amanda Spooner (production stage manager). Performances of 10 out of 12 will take place May 26–June 21 (see schedule above) at Soho Rep. Critics are welcome as of Wednesday, June 3 for an official opening of Wednesday, June 10 at 7:30pm.
