Pink Banana 2012 One Act Festival: THE END OF THE WORLD!

Apocalypse is on everyone’s mind as we head into the year of 2012. Just as Y2K got us thinking about a world without electronics, our theme strives to inspire you to start thinking about what apocalypse means to you.

Oxford defines Apocalypse as:
1 (often the Apocalypse) the complete final destruction of the world, especially as described in the biblical book of Revelation.

2 an event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale: a stock market apocalypse an era of ecological apocalypse

How is the world, as you know it, going to end?
To submit to this years one acts, send your piece as a Word doc, pdf, or plain text to submissions@pinkbananatheatre.com. We will be accepting play submissions until January 31st, 2012.

Pink Banana’s Fall Production: Dead Man’s Cell Phone by Sarah Ruhl


November 3-12, 2011
at Next Act’s brand new theatre space, 255 S. Water St.!

Featuring Kelly Coffey, Nate Press, Joan End, Layna Davis, Luke Erickson, Liz Shipe, Ellen Dunphy, Jeff Kriesel

What it’s all about:
An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man with a lot of loose ends. So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative new comedy by MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize finalist, Sarah Ruhl.
“Satire is her oxygen. . . . In her new oddball comedy, Dead Man’s Cell Phone, Sarah Ruhl is forever vital in her lyrical and biting takes on how we behave.”
- The Washington Post”Ruhl’s zany probe of the razor-thin line between life and death delivers a fresh and humorous look at the times we live in.”
- Variety

“[Ruhl] tackles big ideas with a voice that entertains”
-NPR

“beguiling new comedy…Ms. Ruhl’s work blends the mundane and the metaphysical, the blunt and the obscure, the patently bizarre and the bizarrely moving.”
-New York Times
