Highly-acclaimed director excited by dramaÕs Òraw authenticityÓ

 

NEW YORK, NY (October 21, 2009) - Director Richard Caliban, fresh off his successful run with ÒMom - A Rock Concert MusicalÓ, has joined the theatrical production of ÒThe Cutting DenÓ, it was announced today by Barbara Mosinski, the dramaÕs associate producer. 

 

ÒThe Cutting DenÓ is a modern day flood story set in a Brooklyn barbershop/bookie parlor during the first week of the Major League baseball season. When debts go unpaid sparks fly until the shop burns red-hot.  The play will appear at Soho Playhouse in New York City from Feb 4 - Feb 21, 2010.

 

Playwright Ron Scott Stevens is the former chairman of the NY State Athletic Commission.  His last play, ÒCherryÕs PatchÓ, was also directed by Richard Caliban.  ÒI am pleased that Mr. Caliban has joined our production,Ó said Stevens.  ÒHe is a very talented director who has an incredible knack for getting the actors to deliver what the playwright intends.Ó

 

Richard CalibanÕs ÒMom - A Rock Concert MusicalÓ won the award for Outstanding Musical at the 2009 New York International Fringe Festival, and is now in development for a commercial production. Caliban is the former Artistic Director of the Cucaracha Theatre and is currently a faculty member of the National Theatre Conservatory in Denver.  ÒI am eager to get started on ÔThe Cutting DenÕ,Ó said Caliban.  ÒIt is the kind of play written by someone who has lived in the real world, not around theater people.Ó
