AND MISS REARDON DRINKS A LITTLE AT THE NUTLEY LITTLE THEATRE Friday, November 6th - 8:00 PM The Nutley Little Theatre
This story surrounds three sisters - Catherine, an alcoholic; Anna, a hypochondriac; and Ceil, an attention-starved socialite - in a double-edged social comedy whose lightly-worn humor disguises a more serious intent. The wine flows, the evening progresses, and the sisters each assess the relative advantages of sanity, insanity, and alcoholic oblivion in the face of a shared and insurmountable despair. The performance is the latest in a series of partnerships between The Oasis and The Nutley Little Theatre. The Little Dog Laughed AT NUTLEY LITTLE THEATRE
Stop Kiss at the Nutley Little Theatre On Friday, November 4th at 8 p.m., the Nutley Little Theatre began its run of Diana Son's celebrated play Stop Kiss. Once again the theatre is generously donating half of the proceeds from the show's opening night to The Oasis. “Manhattan growls like an underfed pit bull in Stop Kiss, a sweet, sad and enchantingly sincere play,” said the New York Times's Ben Brantley. The playwright, Diana Son, has written and edited for The West Wing and Law and Order. Stop Kiss won her the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Media Award for Outstanding New York production. The Girl That I Marry: An Evening of Cabaret with Elaine St. George Cabaret legend Elaine St. George partnered with the OASIS for three performances of Elaine's cabaret show The Girl That I Marry at various churches around the diocese this spring. Time Out New York says "Barbara Cook and Elaine St. George must have been separated at birth." Of The Girl That I Marry, Warren Hoffman of talkinbroadway.com says "Addressing the issue of gay marriage head on, St. George skillfully weaves satire and humor with traditional theater songs and crafts a show that sheds new light on weddings, commitment, and true love in the context of same-sex relationships." The OASIS thanks Elaine St. George and her musicians, as well as Christ Church: Hackensack, All Saint's Church: Hoboken, and the Church of the Redeemer: Morristown for making this event possible.
The Laramie Project at Nutley Little Theatre On Sunday, April 25th, 2004,the OASIS sponsored a performance of The Laramie Project at the Nutley Little Theater. We are pleased and grateful to report that the performance was a sold-out success! Written by Moises Kaufman and the members of the Tectonic Theater Project, The Laramie Project tells the story of the murder in October of 1998 of Matthew Shepard, a gay college student, through interviews with the people of Laramie, Wyoming, where it took place. The OASIS would like to thank everybody who attended, and especially Penny Paul and the talented cast and crew at the Nutley Little Theater for sharing their time and talent with us.
