Casting Announced!

Hey, everyone! I am so excited to announce casting for Weekend at an English Country Estate. We have a killer group assembled, if i do say so myself.

The play is set to be directed by Paul Urcioli, and will feature Ateh company members Madeleine Maby, Sara Montgomery, and Elizabeth Neptune, plus Ateh newcomers Mick Lauer*, Alyssa Lott, Julia Moss*, Joe Stipek* and Charlie Wilson.

You may remember Madeleine, Elizabeth and myself (Sara) from past Ateh shows including The Girl in the Flammable Skirt, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Girl Detective, Long Distance and Mr. A's Amazing Maze Plays. Here is a fitting performance image from Alice that I feel will simultaneously remind you of our past shows, fully convey how excited we are about working with all these new people, as well as potentially embarrass the people in the picture. It's win-win-win.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland featuring Elizabeth Neptune as the Mock Turtle, Kathryn Ekblad as Alice, Madeleine Maby as the Griffin, and I'm there in the background as one of the the Lobster Quadrille "Lobster-ettes." Lewis Carroll is a maniac; Bridgette Dunlap is a genius.

If the world needs anything right now, it's more lobster hats.

P.S. If anyone doesn't know the story, it was at this moment in the play, after doing it for months, that i looked around the stage and for the first time realized "This is RIDICULOUS! What we are doing is ridiculous!" I don't know how i could have missed it earlier.

Something NEW is in the works!

Hello, loyal Ateh fans,

We're back! After some time away, the Ateh is gearing up for a new production this coming October. I'm really excited about it!

It's called Weekend at an English Country Estate, a new play by me, Sara Montgomery, inspired by the works of classically witty gentlemen like Noel Coward and P.G. Wodehouse. It is a old-timey comedy about a group of well-to-do English people in the 1920’s getting into trouble with love. A lot of champagne is involved.

We're just in the preliminary stages now, but check this blog for updates all throughout the summer. Right now, we are fundraising our butts off, so please consider making a donation by clicking the link below. More info to come, so stay tuned!

Go see Madeleine's show!

So I'm working on this very fun and funny little one act that is going to go up in a week or so. It's called "Real" and it's by Bekah Brunstetter who is not only a brilliant and hilarious playwright, but is also from my hometown of Winston-Salem....could she be any cooler? Her play was inspired by this season of The Bachelor and I play a woman vying for the bachelor's love...don't you want to see that? i think you do.

"Real" is the first piece of two in the evening, and the entire night is only an hour long so I'm pretty sure you will love it all. here's the info:

What : "Real" and "The Po-Mo Sex Romp" (apparently not quite as sexual as the title suggests)
When : Thursday May 7th at 7pm, Friday May 8th at 7pm and 9pm, Saturday May 9th at 2pm and 7pm, and Sunday May 10th at 2pm and 7pm
Where: The Abingdon Theatre Arts Complex 312 West 36th St First Floor
How: Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at smarttix at the link below

Directed by Stephen Brackett
