Cimino’s Defeat

A new play by Eric faris
Directed by Sam Cini

“After the success of The Deer Hunter, filmmaker Michael Cimino has a blank check to do whatever he wants in Hollywoodland. His next project? A sprawling, epic Western called Heaven’s Gate. His vision? Revolutionary. His ego? Massive. Witness the beginning of the end of New Hollywood this January!”

Working Classes

We are working class. We believe in work that is deeply, unabashedly, American. By that, we mean work that is singular, individuated, and full of size. Work that is unafraid of failure, that risks everything in order to get to something true, something real. Work that is lived in, sweaty, and sensual. Work that is mature, and messy, and cutting.

We believe in artists who are willing to put themselves on the line. Artists who can and will reveal the worst and best parts of themselves in equal measure, Who are interested in questions, not answers. Who aren’t afraid of being “unfinished”.

We are creating a home for like-minded people to share ideas, to train, and to perform. Our classes are affordable, our ticket prices are cheap, and our doors open to all who want to join us. the working class once had a seat at the grand table of American theatre and cinema, and  it's time to take that seat back.
