Urban Samurai Productions announces it's Season 2011!

Leave, or The Surface of the World
World Premiere
Winter 2011
Season 2011 will open with the world premiere of a new, expanded version of this "don't ask, don't tell" drama by local playwright Matthew A. Everett. Seth is a young Marine serving during wartime. Nicholas is his civilian husband who waits back home. In addition to the strain on their relationship caused by distance and absence, they must hide their love for one another behind code words and secret identities because of the United States military's policy barring gays and lesbians from serving openly.

Regional Premiere
Spring 2011
USP will present the regional premiere of this surprise Tony-nominated smash created by Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell, which debuted at the New York Musical Theatre Festival and ultimately ran on Broadway. A love letter to musical theater and to the joy of collaboration, [title of show] is a musical about two struggling young writers writing a new musical about two struggling young writers writing a new musical. In the span of 90 minutes the pair, along with the help of two friends, write and perform their show-within-a-show at a musical theater festival while learning lessons about themselves as people, friends, and artists.

Rumors
Fall 2011
Season 2011 will close by honoring the tremendous impact that Neil Simon's work has had on our company and live theater by presenting Rumors. At a large, tastefully appointed Sneden's Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though only a flesh wound, four couples are about to experience a severe attack of farce. Gathering for their tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding in the other room and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer and his wife must get "the story" straight before the other guests arrive, but as the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spirals into classic farcical hilarity.
