"Gingold Theatrical Group provides an invaluable -- and unique -- service to New Yorkers. Not only does it keep topnotch productions of great works of art before the public on a regular basis as no other theater company can, but it also does something less obvious. It keeps the tradition of intelligent argument, embodied in Shaw's plays but otherwise much lacking from public discourse, alive for those who need it most: the thinking people of a great city." -- Jesse Green, New York Magazine. For more information about Project Shaw and for premium seating, phone 212.355.7823 or visit the Gingold Theatrical Group website: www.gingoldgroup.org |

About cul-de-sac:
In cul-de-sac you'll meet the Smiths, the Johnsons and the Joneses. They live in a nice little cul-de-sac in a nice little suburb in a nice little state in a nice big country. And they're happy. Or—trying to be. The lengths to which they go to be–or seem or feel–happy are hilarious and heartbreaking. cul-de-sac is a not-quite-for-families family comedy that examines the American dream—and the nightmare it can become. The premiere production of cul-de-sac was produced by Transport Group; Jack Cummings III, Artistic Director.
John Cariani is a Tony Award Nominated actor and an accomplished playwright (Almost, Maine). He made his Broadway debut in the 2004 revival of Fiddler on the Roof as Motel the Tailor and received the Outer Critics Circle Award and a Tony Award nomination for his performance.

Antigone received a 4.5 star review and was listed as the Best of the Capital Fringe by DC Metro Theater Arts.
Clemmie Evans and Jenna Krasowski together are the death-like “Chorus”, floating about the stage as they gaze dispassionately on the inevitable tragedy that is unfolding. They provide a much-needed context for the show, and serve as a reminder that at its core, Antigone is a play about the consequences of messing around with supernatural forces.
DC Theater Scene also mentions The two chorus members (Clemmie Evans and Jenna Krasowski) are clear, haunting, and deliver their lines in-sync

Balladeers Play to the Moon is a madcap romance which infuses familiar tropes with a one-of-a-kind whimsy. This new play with music is set in October 2012 on a luxury Pullman train - The Manifest Destiny - where passengers must dress and live as if it's 1927. When the train inevitably breaks down, it sets off a series if bizarre dreams and events which lead to an otherworldly climax.
Follow a trio on a mission to meet with George Lucas, two libertine honeymooners, and a diner car Captain who may or may not be stuck in time...
Balladeers is presented as a staged reading, written by newcomer Matthew Vitticore, and directed by Christopher Gurr (currently in All the Way on Broadway).

An Ideal Husband Review
Clemmie's performance as Mrs Cheveley was reviewed by Broadwayshowbiz.com:
I’d also like to tip my hat to Clemmie Evans, a Welsh actress who understudies the villainous Mrs. Cheveley and who played the part at the performance I attended. She was pitch perfect and gave not the slightest hint that she was not originally intended for the role.
