Gingold Theatrical Group (David Staller, Artistic Director) will continue the 14th Season of Project Shaw, Art as Activism: A Theatrical Survival Guide, a special series of evenings of plays that embrace human rights and free speech. All of GTG’s programming, inspired by the works of George Bernard Shaw, are designed to provoke peaceful discussion and activism. The final offering will be a reading of Noel Coward's I'LL LEAVE IT TO YOUMarcia Milgrom Dodge directs a cast that features Fred Applegate, Cynthia Darlow, Jason Gotay, Cady Huffman, Charlotte Maltby, Robert Petkoff, Emily Rynasko, Paige Silvester, Robbie Simpson, and Emma Straton. "I'll Leave it to You" tells us the story of a widow with five grown up children, Mrs. Dermot (Cady Huffman) turns to brother Dan for help. Uncle Dan arrives to find an idle family ready to live on his money. He announces that he is doomed to die in three years and that he will leave his money to the member of the family who has made good by then. Each sets to with such determination that Oliver becomes a successful inventor, Evangeline a novelist, Bobbie a composer and Sylvia a film star; even Joyce, finishing her school career, distinguishes herself. Now he tells the family his riches are a myth and his previous announcement was only a means to raise the family from lethargy. Sylvia alone sees Uncle Dan’s wisdom and berates the others for their narrow minded attitude. Gingold Theatrical Group will announce the 15th Season of Project Shaw shortly. All the plays in this series will be presented in a concert-reading format at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theater at Symphony Space (2537 B'way.) Tickets are available at www.symphonyspace.org.
