Margaret Curry brings her 2024 Bistro Award-Winning show to The Green Room 42! Curry explores and delights in the universe between the present and the future, the bad and the good, the hope and what's-to-come. Curry tells her story (and some of ours) through compositions by Johnny Mercer, Yip Harburg, Chaka Khan, Roy Orbison and Jimmy Webb. Curry and her stellar musicians, musical director/arranger Gregory Toroian on piano, Skip Ward on bass and David Silliman on drums, celebrate "the space in-between" with music, lyrics, and distinctive rhythms. Directed by Lina Koutrakos. Produced by Deep Flight Productions.

THE LANFORD WILSON ONE ACTS PROJECT 2024
Click to Read Deborah Greenhut's Full Review of Deep Flight Productions “The Moonshot Tape” and “A Poster of the Cosmos”: Two One-Act Plays by Landford Wilson (excerpts below:)
“Deep Flight Productions” launches with a powerful staging of Landford Wilson’s evening of one-act plays, “The Moonshot Tape” and “A Poster of the Cosmos.”
I want to give a special nod to the superb direction of Mark Cirnigliaro, which the two actors, Geoff Stoner, as Tom, (“A Poster of the Cosmos”) a crime suspect who is being interviewed by the police, and Margaret Curry*, as Diane, (“The Moonshot Tape”) a writer with a secret returning to her hometown to be interviewed by a high school reporter, maneuver precisely through the roller coaster of feelings demanded by the stories they each need to tell, with each turn of feeling marked distinctly by a change in demeanor and delivery...The pressure of telling ignites pained emotions in each character. The performances by Stoner and Curry were powerful and heartbreaking. Spectators at this performance were visibly moved by these actors.
The set, designed by Bethanie Wampol Watson, was richly designed with a moving piece that marked the transition between the plays with a dramatic thud...the set did move the players closer to the audience to promote a certain, effective claustrophobia within their inescapable stories. Dramatic lighting by Zack Gage; subtle, thematic costume colors contributed by Noa Smidt; and projection/ sound design by Jeff Watson synthesized a unified approach to the mise-en-scène. Multi-talented Stage Manager Cat Gillespie wrangled the performance to a satisfying, if draining, emotional close.
Margaret Curry, whose credits include stage acting, film directing and acting, and a cabaret show, “The Space In-Between,” has taken on an ambitious mission with Deep Flight, seeking in her productions “to go to the difficult places, to find the life that wants to break through the cracks.” It’s a good time in our history to turn our attention to the struggles of the individual and Curry is committed to going there.
This production was bursting with possibilities, and I look forward to enjoying what’s to come from Deep Flight Productions.

DFP celebrates completion of the limited Off Broadway engagement of Lanford Wilson’s THE MOONSHOT TAPE & A POSTER OF THE COSMOS, directed by Mark Cirnigliaro and starring Margaret Curry* and Geoff Stoner.
A pair of one-act plays about taking control of destiny and retaliating against fate, THE MOONSHOT TAPE & A POSTER OF THE COSMOS played a one-week limited engagement at Off-Broadway’s The Siggy at the Flea.
Margaret Curry's Interview with Andrew Cortes at Stage Whisper Podcast.
"The Moonshot Tape" and "A Poster of the Cosmos" united in a compelling evening of one-act plays by the celebrated American playwright Lanford Wilson. In these monologues, Wilson intricately explores themes of love, human sexuality, and the profound impact our surroundings and relationships have on shaping our identities. The plays are a poetic and cataclysmic journey, unraveling inward, chaotic, and exhilarating truths that resonate on deeply personal and universally relevant levels.
