Tickets are $17-$25 and available at dixonplace.org. Press are invited to any performance. CINDY OF ARC is a comedy about the problem men have with lying and where that's gotten the rest of us. Cindy of Arc is just like "American Utopia" but with expletives, politics, religion, dogs, cannibals, Nazis, thirteen songs, no David Byrne, and no Utopia. And no choreographer. And no money. And it's a comedy. And we wear our shoes. But otherwise, very similar. "As Shakespeare, who was, granted, a misogynist and anti-semite, once said, "Truth will out". CINDY OF ARC is on a mission to get the truth out, the long truth, from Plato to Moe Brooks, from Pandora to Dr. Deborah Birx, from Hillel the Elder to Olympia Dukakis, may she rest in peace," remarks long-time essayist, actress and comedy performer Kaplan, who felt compelled to write the play after delivering her political and social commentary in print and on stage. "There's a lot of ground to cover on the truth front. And there are songs." The production stars Cynthia Kaplan* (Cindy of Arc) Theater: Wild Nights with Emily (Boston Center for the Arts), How to Write While You Sleep (Soho Rep), Denise Goes Down the Aisle (Atlantic Theater Co.)
