D. White.  Life is probably too short for

On the Ground, but if you're into odd dramatic constructions, a little Cocteau, a little Kozinski, and watching actors fumble for understanding, then this baby's not to be missed.

 

March 19 at 7PM, three plays by Kobun Kaluza at the Seventh Street Small Stage, 43 E. 7th St., betw. 2nd and 3rd Aves., $10.,  Brown for the Blues, Driftwood, and The Training Wheel Cycle (with

623-3488 or by going to www.TheRiantTheatre.com and clicking on "Strawberry Festival."  Wanna

see a casting director fall in love?  Ouch.  With Kevin Bohl as Lloyd Berkeley, the stiff upper-lipped Briton, Jenna

Friedenberg as a stressed out NYC casting director, Damani Rivers as a former NFL tight end named

Quinan Malik; introducing Matt Pozzi as Billy Bond, Twyla's "gopher."

 

February 12 will house within its time, at 3PM, the annual staged reading of Kobun Kaluza's St. Valentine and the Wildebeest, at the Seventh Street Small Stage in celebration of "stupid Cupid" day.  Tom White is now too long in the tooth to play Earvin according to the powers that be (Kobun and Tom), so Earvin will be read/performed by

Kevin Bohl and Tom will "direct."   Jenna Friedenberg has something else (better?) to do that day, so Emilie Unterweger will bring  new personality to the day nanny, Kirsten, while Evie Earonson will revive her 2002 rendering of Florence.
