Northeast Stage Presents “Women of Manhattan”
May 4, 2009
Written by John Patrick Shanley; Directed by Jere Jacob
(Greenport, N.Y.) “This provocative, brilliantly stylized and often very funny play delves into the lives of three upscale female “yuppies” whose financial success is counterbalanced by their unmet emotional needs” (Dramatists Play Service).
The cast includes Mary Eisenstein, Lisa Renaud, Amie Sponza, Robert Bracken and Noel Blackburn. Directed by Greenport resident Jere Jacob, a founding member of the Jean Cocteau Repertory. Ms. Jacob has both appeared in and directed many productions both Off Broadway and locally, including Northeast Stage’s productions of Twelfth Night and Two Gentlemen of Verona. She has also toured widely in her one-woman show No Fit Place for a Child to Play, compiled from the work of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay.
