Somewhere between visiting his uncle in Los Angeles and relocating to one of Calvino's more inscrutable Invisible Cities, Sam decided to open a tea shack, here, in our town. Please come and join him, Keelie, and Eliza for tea and the famed vegetarian tea snacks of Chef Robert Garbarino. Sam's Tea Shack is a transportable way-station as play. Or as Sam describes it: "it's about cultural identity versus national identity. It's a comedy." So stop in from the road for bottomless tea, vegetarian chopped liver, genealogical conjecture and irreverent storytelling.
A Reading of 'Botte di Ferro' by Ben Gassman
Ocean becomes pizza becomes candy becomes war as a sometimes couple tries to make sense of desire and each other across a decade, new kinds of telephony, and a night in Naples where it all seems right.

Readings
I recently had the opportunity to participate in readings of two new plays: Botte di Ferro by Ben Gassman and The Errant Gene by Richard Manley. I'm very excited to continue following the development of these two terrific pieces.
