RAVEL by Samantha Collier

Dear friends, mentors and colleagues,

I sincerely hope you can make it out to see my new play, Ravel by Samantha Collier, playing August 5th-15th in NYC. I have been working on the play since seeing a reading of it in July 2009, and have been shepherding it towards production ever since, so this show is very exciting and important to me. The play is smart, imaginative and funny, and also marks the inaugural production of my new company, Theater Nyx, which has been another year in the making.
The mission of Theater Nyx is to conceive, develop and produce theater with the highest artistic standards while providing artists with opportunity for growth and collaboration. Ravel will run at Looking Glass Theatre for two weekends in August with a wonderful cast and a stunning design team, several members of which currently work on the crew of Avenue Q. We are in rehearsals now, and every day I am thrilled at what all of these wonderful people have to offer. Please come see this show!

For thousands of years, the three Fates have spun and measured human lives. But when a thread breaks, and a woman dies, they must leave their posts to set things right. Meanwhile, the woman's mother and daughter struggle to understand her mysterious death, her research on frog extinction and each other.
