Welcome to THEATRE PROJECTed!

To all of our loyal supporters, and to the many new visitors stopping by our website, The Theatre Project is back and in full force! This year is very exciting to us here because we are going to have a lot to offer in the upcoming months. We have spent a large portion of our year developing our upcoming season of events, and decided to share them with everyone earlier rather than later!
 First off, we have updated our look. With the upcoming excitement we will have to offer, we felt The Theatre Project deserved a really clean site!
 As for our upcoming season, The Theatre Project is proud to be producing our first season dedicated to the work of one individual modern Playwright. That playwright is Sean Pomposello. When we first met Sean, we originally intended to produce just one of his plays, until we realized he had a treasure trove of other theatre pieces. So, with Sean as our wordsmith of the season, we are proud to announce our upcoming theatrical line up!
 This fall we will be unveiling our first play series, Universal Monsters. The series, will span from November to December. On select Thursdays we will feature ten of Sean Pomposello's plays! The plays are all very different, and the series will feature both full length and one-act plays, presented in readings and staged readings. We will also be offering talk backs with the playwright and cast throughout the series. Overall we are very happy to be able to offer this, and are looking forward to hearing our audience's reactions.
 After Universal Monsters, we are proud to present the world premiere production of Bitch by Sean Pomposello. Bitch is a very important production to us here at The Theatre Project. We have been working with Sean since this past January on developing the production! The play offers a unique look into the world of dog fighting, certainly a foreign subject on the theatrical stage, but a hot-button issue in mainstream media. Bitch is being presented the month of January 2011 as a limited run.
 With Universal Monsters and Bitch set to hit the stage in the late fall/early winter, we decided to offer something a bit earlier in the season for our fans to enjoy. Coming this September we will also be offering our new improv-comedy show, Dirty Sexy Improv! This monthly show will feature a team of comedians performing original sketch-comedy as well as long-form improvisation. Enjoy the laughsand cheap booze as Dirty Sexy Improv prepares to immerse you in a show that thrives when the audience gets liqoured up and involved!
 All of our upcoming productions will be staged at The Players Theatre complex, located in the heart of the West Village, at 115 MacDougal Street.
Now that you are all up to speed, The Theatre Project is excited to announce the launch of our new blog, THEATRE PROJECTed! Our blog will take you behind the scenes with interviews, videos, articles and sneak peeks of the innerworkings here at The Theatre Project! We hope you follow along, tell your friends and enjoy the ride!
 Check back here for many more updates throughout the upcoming months. If you can't get enough of us, please show your support by following us on twitter and blogger and become a fan on facebook!
