Three Little Words.

Threshold is thrilled to announce it's second contribution to this year's Bay One Acts Festival,

Three Little Words;

OR,
Romeo and Juliet,
the Entire Play,
with Four Actors,
in Three-Word Sentences,
Which Can't Be Done.

by Tim Bauer
Directed by Alex Curtis

Produced by Threshold's new sister company Playpen (Theater), founded by core member Alex Curtis, Three Little Words is a production of the Bard's classic tale with a few changes. Three Little Words is a witty, theatrical send up of star-crossed lovers and the actors who play them.

With a full cast of talented, funny actors, Playpen is proud to welcome its new cast:

Nick Dickson,
Jasen Talise,
Megan Briggs,
and Dave Dyson

With two Threshold directors taking stage, casts including Threshold actors Cooper Carlson (Exchange), Brittany Berg (Within the Wall of Sand), and Brant Rhotnem (Ayravana Flies), and even two plays by Threshold talents Sam Leichter (actor: Exchange, Footprints in the Applesauce) and Ben Fisher (playwright: Exchange, Footprints in the Applesauce), BOA 2010 will be a Thresh-Stravaganza not to be missed!

See you there!!!

Catcher in the Rye (Cancelled)

Threshold is thrilled to announce its next project:

The Catcher in the Rye (Cancelled)
By Jon Brooks
Directed by Jessica Holt



Produced in association with Three Wise Monkeys at
The 9th Annual Bay One Acts Festival (BOA)
February - March 2010
Boxcar Theatre, San Francisco

A hilarious parody of the perils of copyright infringement, fair use and dramatic license. It has the Threshold team tickled.

We were first introduced to the quirky world-view of playwright Jon Brooks last year when BOA and Bindlestiff produced his riotous "Afterlife," which re-examined some of our most deepy cherished beliefs about what the afterlife might look like. In Brook's imagined afterlife, men give birth to men, a Birdman squawks intermittently, and little orange balls randomly pelt those newly birthed men. A piece of pure anarchy, Threshold couldn't stop laughing.

With "Catcher in the Rye" those big, jaw-dropping laughs continue, as a motley crew of copyrighted, trademarked and patented characters goads the playwright as he attempts to apologize to his audience for a show they will never see.

Join us for a raucous, ribald rumination on the price of intellectual property and the cost of artistic freedom.

See you at BOA at Boxcar in February 2010.
