The Weekend Has Landed - October 22nd

*Friday*

Catch a show and shake it all night long! There are two plays running in town this weekend:

Breadcrumbs @ Manbites Dog - Written by Jennifer Haley, directed by Jeff Storer, and featuring Marcia Edmundson and Chaunesti Webb. A reclusive writer struggling to complete her last story must depend on a lost young woman for help. From the author of "Neighborhood 3", a moving new play about mothers, daughters, and the moonlit woods of the past. Fri and Sat 8:15pm/$17.

Six Degrees of Separation @ Common Ground - A Ghost & Spice production, written by John Guare and directed by Rachel Klem. A young man claiming to be Sidney Poitier’s son cons an Upper East Side couple. He sets in motion a series of events that will alter the course of their lives forever. Inspired by a true story, the play is both a laugh-out-loud comedy and a biting social commentary about the separation between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots’. Fri and Sat 8:00pm/$16.

After the play, head on over to the Pinhook, for Carpe Noctem' s 4th Friday dance party, Sugar Skull. It'll be DJ Dude Femme kicking out the jams, along with some special guests. Friday night, drink specials, dance floor. 10pm/$5.
