Award-winning playwright Ken Urban brings Theatre of NOTE another World Premiere with his grungy new play:

NIBBLER

A comedy about the horrors of youth.

"I believe that believing is a waste of fucking time."

It's the summer of 1992 in the suburban hell of Medford, New Jersey. Five teenagers (played by adults) come to terms with impending adulthood, and find their lives changed by a mysterious visitor from another world. A dark comedy about that time when everything and nothing seem possible.

Three generations divided by race, culture and time connect when a white Southern woman discovers old love letters leading her to an African American half-brother. Louisiana-born chef Leo Price is living in Chicago caring for his aging mother, who has dementia, and his college-age daughter when white Gender Studies professor Didi Marcantel barges into his life with the provocative cache of letters. From the addled memories of Jessalyn Price come contradictory stories of her dangerous interracial romance with Didi’s father. As America debates whether the election of Barack Obama has rendered our nation "post-racial," Julie Hébert's provocative, poetic and powerfully moving new play asks: How can we move past racial differences and find a common language?

Welcome to Nevsky Prospect! With a script by playwright and KPCC journalist Kitty Felde, an original score and songs by indie musician Ego Plum, and Rogue Artists Ensemble's signature mix of live actors, puppetry, masks and digital projection, three of Nikolai Gogol's most famous short stories - Diary of a Madman, The Overcoat and The Nose - will come to "Hyper-theatrical " life this fall. Directed by Sean T. Cawelti, Gogol Project will open at the Bootleg Theater on September 25. Two low-priced previews take place September 19 and 20.

Gogol Project will catapult audiences into the grotesque and whimsical world of Nikolai Gogol’s St. Petersburg neighborhood of Nevsky Prospect. A man chronicles his descent into madness. A poor postal clerk’s life is turned upside-down by the overcoat he sacrificed to obtain. A Very Important Person wakes up one day to discover his nose is missing, only to find out his nose is now a government official - and the nose outranks him!

But his resolve will be tested when he faces off against the most dangerous rival of them all...Mona Livingston.
