Hit Off-Broadway Show To Return This Fall

Productions in Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas are planned

Pieces (of Ass)

Conceived and Directed by Brian Howie

At Theater 80, 80 St. Mark’s Place

NEWS – 8/1/03:

Ø     PIECES… will continue in September (venue TBA)

Ø     PIECES… slated for Los Angeles in October 2003

PIECES (OF ASS) the off-Broadway hit featuring original monologues written and performed by beautiful women, will return to New York in September after closing this Sunday August 3rd, as scheduled.  A Los Angeles production is slated for October, and stops in Chicago and Las Vegas are being considered as well.

PIECES (OF ASS) features original monologues which all deal with themes uniquely common to the physically blessed female, from the perks and the privileges to the problems and the pressures.  These pieces aim to go beneath the beautiful façade and examine the concept of "hot chick angst."  More than just a stage show, PIECES…is a complete evening, with live female DJ’s, short films, and cocktails in the Stuff Magazine Lobby Lounge, featuring Grey Goose Vodka – all of these elements are combined to create a party atmosphere at this Village landmark venue, which New York Magazine calls one of its “Favorite Off-Broadway Theatres.”

PIECES… is unique among off-Broadway shows in that the format allows the producers to mix in special guest stars on select performances - a “CenterPIECE.”  Guest stars have included Jenna Morasca (“Survivor”), Kirsten Buschbacher (“The Bachelor”), Carol Grow (FHM’s “100 Most Beautiful Women”), and Lori Heuring (“Mulholland Drive”, “The In-Crowd”).  Victoria Gotti will perform tonight (Friday August 1).

New Scenario Entertainment is a New York-based production company which pursues opportunities in all facets of the entertainment industry including film, television, stage, and national events.  The company’s feature film, “Mob Mentality”, is scheduled for completion later this year.

PIECES (OF ASS) began performances on Thursday, July 10th, and will continue through Sunday, August 3rd.  Opening night was Sunday, July 13th.  Performances are Tuesdays through Thursdays at 8pm, Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm and 10pm and Sundays at 7pm.  Tickets are $35 for weekday shows, and $40 on weekends.  Tickets may be purchased by calling Smarttix at (212) 868-4444, or online at www.piecesofass.com.  Photos are available for download at www.brettsinger.com/clients/piecesofass.html.
