Fresh from the success of their farcical dark comedy 'The Bakery', The Bardic Bastards return to the Hollywood Fringe Festival with a midnight tale of murderous malarkey. The Midnight Menagerie, a new one-act by Brandon Nicholas Pfeltz, is a twistedly funny take on the rotten decisions of the deplorable delinquents that haunt the screens of Hollywood.

Following a November 10th opening that was met with positive reviews, the producers of the current revival of The Mutilated by Tennessee Williams have added a post show discussion with cast members associated with the original 1966 Broadway production, where in ran with The Gnadiges Fraulein under the collective title Slapstick Tragedy. Four-time Tony winner Zoe Caldwell (Polly in The Gnadiges Fraulein, her first Tony award), Jordan Charney (Cop in The Mutilated) and Art Ostrin (Bernie understudy in The Mutilated, Cocaloony Bird in The Gnadiges Fraulein) will join Mink Stole, Penny Arcade and director Cosmin Chivu in a free talk following the November 23 at 3pm performance. The panel is moderated by Tennessee Williams editor Thomas Keith.

In response to popular demand, the first New York revival in 38 years of The Mutilated by Tennessee Williams will extend to December 1. Directed by Cosmin Chivu and starring legendary avant-garde performers Mink Stole and Penny Arcade, the production features original music composed by Jesse Selengut, performed by the three-piece combo Tin Pan. In anticipation of the production's opening, Charles Isherwood in The New York Times wrote, "What Penny Arcade and Mink Stole will make of Williams's radiantly lurid characters could well be one of the livelier sideshows in a theatrical season rich in promising double acts.'

Like nearly all of Williams's later, more experimental plays, The Mutilated was met with stinging reviews, disappointment and even anger when it premiered on Broadway in 1966 (with The Gnadiges Fraulein, under the collective title Slapstick Tragedy). "I know Mr. Williams is trying to do something ambitious and ambiguous but, gee, I wish he would just give something old and square like A Streetcar Named Desire," wrote John McClain in the New York Journal-American. Directed by Cosmin Chivu, legendary avant-garde performers Mink Stoleand Penny Arcade will star in the first New York revival of The Mutilated in 38 years. The production features original music composed byJesse Selengut, performed by the three-piece combo Tin Pan.
