"A smacking good play…  lucid, subtle direction...
splendid performances… 
A play this good has no business being forgotten!" 
- BACK STAGE CRITIC'S PICK

"Surprising, refreshing and winning."
- Peter Filichia, Filichia on Friday

"Definitely worth seeing. The acting is superb and the twist is surprising."
- New York Theatre Review

Part courtroom drama, part whodunit, The Runner Stumbles is based on the true story of a nun's mysterious murder in a remote parish in northern Michigan in 1911 and the charge that her superior, Father Rivard, is her murderer.

Next up in The New Play Series



 By Norris Church Mailer
 Directed by Sondra Lee
 Starring Lauren Fox and Brian Delate*.

May 22 and 23 at 8pm

Go See is a provocative, bold, and thoughtful exploration of personal, cultural, and sexual identity as told through Marie/Michelle, a woman working in a sex booth on 42nd street. She meets anthropologist David/Paul when he visits her booth conducting research for his new book on women's sexuality. The mystery of Marie/Michelle's identity, and of David/Paul's motives drives Go See to
a dynamic and touching end. 

Norris Church Mailer, author of the novels Windchill Summer and Cheap Diamonds, was raised in Arkansas and moved to New York when she was 26 to start her life with Norman Mailer. She was a model, painter, actress, playwright, mother of two, and stepmother to seven. Her third book, a memoir titled A Ticket To The Circus, came out to rave reviews in 2010, shortly before her passing in November of that same year. She developed Go See at the Actors Studio,
where she was a lifetime member.
