The Pillowman -The Attic Ensemble


The Pillowman
by Martin McDonagh
Directed by Billy Mitchell
Featuring: William Allgood, Eddie Capuano, Bill Graber, Benjamin Holmes

Irish playwright Martin McDonagh's award-winning -remarkably dark- black comedy is a spine-chilling story of fact versus fiction. A writer is arrested when children in his vicinity begin dying savagely, in ways resembling his stories. The interrogation includes his brother, two unpredictable investigators, and the telling of several stories which led to the writer's arrest.

The Attic Ensemble

83 Wayne Street
February 19-28 at 8pm

Chillfest Second Sunday Series - Valentine's Day

The Chillfest Second Sunday Series runs monthly from October through June 2010 and offers gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender-themed films to Jersey City and the region.
FAT GIRLS is the candidly funny comedy focusing on the trials and tribulations of Rodney Miller, a gay, theater-obsessed high school senior who has his heart set on Broadway stardom and an eye out for love. With the help of his best friend (and fellow outcast) Sabrina, Rodney takes us on a winning journey of self-discovery. With an abundance of underdog spirit and crowd pleasing humor FAT GIRLS explores the sometimes heartrending challenges of growing up in small town America. Produced, written, and directed by ASH CHRISTIAN.

LITM, 140 Newark Avenue, 1/2 block from Grove Street PATH station in Downtown Jersey City.

Sunday, February 14th, 4:20PM (doors open 4:00PM). Arrive early for drinks, food, socializing, and best seats. Full bar and dinner menu available.
