The Wild Root Company is presenting two readings of playwright Jonathan Kravetz’s farce, THE BEAST IN MY PANTS, at the Creative Center at Manhattan Theatre Club (311 West 43rd Street, 8th Floor, Studio 3) at 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm on Thursday April 17, 2014. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience one of these free readings!
Hailed as a “sexy, erudite farce” (CriticalRant.com), THE BEAST IN MY PANTS is a wildly exhilarating new comedy from rising playwright Jonathan Kravetz that follows the romantic vicissitudes of six outrageous characters: Marlon, an innocent flasher, who loves Pam; she loves the arrogant psychotherapist Adam Applebaum, because she can only love a genius. Applebaum loves Steve, the cop, who wants to win his wife’s affections. But Flame, Steve’s wife, can only love men who don’t respect her. Marlon’s mother, the homicidal Mrs. Rivington tries to protect her son from the world. The Beast rules all.
The cast includes three-time Drama Desk nominee Julie Halston (The Divine Sister, Twentieth Century, Anything Goes), Patrick Kerr (Stage Kiss at Playwrights Horizons, Broadway’s The Ritz), Chris Dinolfo (The Normal Heart at Arena Stage), Jay Leibowitz (The Acting Company), Jennifer Diaz and Elaine Stenson.
Directed by Jessi D. Hill (The New Group, Ensemble Studio Theatre; Associate Artistic Director of terraNOVA Collective), these free but limited seating readings offer audiences a unique opportunity to engage with a colorful and hysterical new work from one of New York’s brightest emerging talents.
