Anchor Women

a new play by Brian Rady

A multimedia gesamtkunstwerk that shows the high definition foibles of our ladies in front of the camera.  A “Topgirls” for a new generation, the play brings together celebrity, luminary ladies in a real dreamscape – Oprah, Annie Liebovitz, transatlantic flights, and poetry.

Friday, August 14 – Saturday, August 29th

Thursday through Monday at 8pm

with 10pm Performances Friday and Saturday

Leaves of Grass returns to the cell for an engaging evening of theater.

Directed by Jeremy Bloom, the ensemble performs Walt Whitman’s epic text – as chamber theater meets dance theater meets congregation meets celebration – without irony or clothing.

A nude chorus of multitudes reciting, “I contain multitudes.” Wouldn’t Walt Whitman be tickled?

Whitman, who in this poem exclaims, “If I worship one thing more than another, it shall be the spread of my own body, or any part of it.” Each succeeding line, passage, turn of phrase celebrates the bare human form as an intersection of nature and industry. “I am the poet of the body, I am the poet of the soul.”

“There seems something appropriately pure about the Cell Theatre’s production”– The New Yorker
