Why Won’t You Pick up Our Garbage
2013
The Operating Theater Company presents
as part of Cherry Lane's Late NIte Series
Why Won't You Pick Up Our Garbage
Written and Directed by Evan Maror
Featuring: Evan Maror
Actor/Director/Writer/Pedagogue/Emotional Conduit, Evan Maror channels Clifford Odets and George Dempster (inventor of the Dempster-Dumpster) in his magnum opus "Why Can't You Pick Up Our Garbage?" A modern parable, this commentary on green living, or lack thereof, delivers audiences an unsettling blend of naturalism and Dadaist shenanigans.
The cast, lead by auteur Evan Maror (the love child of Rasputin and Oscar Wilde with a touch of Alfred Jarry) breathes urban ennui in a fascinating, zonked-out rhythm. The play paints a fauve portrait of the working class as an untended fold of Paschal lambs.
People will leave the theatre inexplicably altered and viscerally satisfied. With its heightened dialogue and raw characterizations, its impossible to put this production into a genre. One could only describe it as a post modern 'Everyplay.'

Exile
2013
April 3 - 13
EXILE
by Nastaran Ahmadi
mentored by Kia Corthron
directede by Lisa Peterson
featuring Rebecca Brooksher, Stephanie DiMaggio, Nadine Malouf, Arya Shahi, John C. Vennema
An Iranian-American video game tester develops a game set in a post-nuclear-apocalypse Iran, even as her own relationship becomes a fallout zone. In this new play that tests the boundaries between fantasy and reality, loyalties shift quickly, and staying alive is the only way to win.
Lawnpeople
2013
March 13 - 23
LAWNPEOPLE
by Natalia Naman
mentored by Eduardo Machado
directed by Elena Araoz
featuring Liza Fernandez, Dea Julien, Bobby Plasencia, Stacey Sargeant, and C.K. Allen
Lawnpeople tracks the journey of Solymar, an undocumented Mexican immigrant working as a housekeeper for a wealthy black Southern couple. When Solymar’s mother is killed back home in Mexico as the result of gang violence, her pre-teen daughter is left across the border without family, while the odds of Solymar returning home to protect her daughter become increasingly unlikely. Meanwhile, the woman she works for becomes so emotionally involved in Solymar’s plight that her own marriage is threatened. Race, class, and the deepest matters of the heart are at odds in this play about love, ambition, and responsibility.
Pas de Deux (lost my shoe) / Joe
2013
February 20 - March 2
An Evening of Solo Performance:
PAS DE DEUX (lost my shoe)
written and performed by Lisa Ramirez
mentored by Cynthia Hopkins
directed by Bryan Davidson Blue
The bonds between siblings are as layered, complex, and true as all great loves. In the spring of 2002, at a time when she had only just overcome her own addiction, Ms. Ramirez lost her younger brother, a principal dancer with The Oakland Ballet, to alcoholism. Upon his death, she enrolled in a ballet class, learning the dances her brother had performed. As she retraced his steps, she not only stayed sober, she learned a new dance, a dance that ultimately was her liberation. Pas de Deux is the first play ever to be commissioned by Mentor Project.
JOE
written and performed by Elizabeth A. Davis
mentored by Enda Walsh
directed by Chris Henry
Joe is a play with music about a Native American, homeless man in his 60s, and his ten year encounter with Elizabeth, a small town, Texas pageant girl in college. Brought to life through the nostalgia of fiddle music, Joe is a story inspired by real events of two wild souls finding friendship and finally, family, in the most unlikely places.
