Dear Friends,

It has been and incredibly exciting year for kef theatrical productions!! Last summer, we produced Michael Puzzo’s LYRIC IS WAITING to rave reviews (an unsettling dissection of a dysfunctional relationship, with a striking performance by Lori Prince – The New York Times) which we extended by popular demand, marking kef’s first Off Broadway run. We also presented readings of Gary Lennon’s THE INTERLOPERS (featuring Tony winner Michele Pawk) and Marisa Wegrzyn’s KILLING WOMEN (more on that below!). In addition, kef expanded our operations by incorporating as kef theatrical productions, Inc. and by adding Adam Rosen (Board Member and Associate Producer), Matthew Menter (Managing Director and Marketing Coordinator) and Dan Kolodny SU- ‘01(General Manager) to the administrative team. Kimberly Conzo- SU ‘98 (Director of Education and Outreach) is still on board . . . with a new baby!

So what’s next?

In April of this year, kef will move into the Beckett Theatre at Theatre Row for eight weeks! In that time, we will present a reading of a new musical, feature the work of some fantastic women artists AND present a full production of KILLING WOMEN (by winner of the esteemed Wasserstein Award for Playwriting, Marisa Wegrzyn). We are thrilled to team up with Marisa to stage this raucous comedy. KILLING WOMEN takes us on a wildly funny ride that asks the question: What happens when you don’t take a woman seriously, but you do give her a gun?

At kef theatrical productions we are so proud to tell the stories of many different voices. This year, our focus is on providing a forum for incredibly talented women in the arts. We need your help to continue to produce theatre that is both relevant and exciting to our artists and to you, our audience. Please consider supporting kef theatrical productions with a donation as we move forward upon all the accomplishments of this past year. We strive for artistic excellence, and your support will help to turn possibilities into reality. http://www.kefproductions.com/donate.html

Best,
Adam Fitzgerald (SU ’98) , Artistic Director
Lori Prince (SU ’98), Producing Director
