Rites of Privacy
This summer
David Rhodes returns to Moving Parts Theater writing and performing
Rites of Privacy - a solo performance piece about the liberation of revealing deeply suppressed secrets. Rhodes most recently impressed audiences and critics with his acclaimed portrayal of the obsessed Hayden Peters in Clay Chapman’s
Lovers and Other Stranglers. In Rites of Privacy Rhodes begins his journey as himself, but quickly shifts gears (and costumes) to portray an array of burdened characters virtually aching to get things off their chests. Amongst them are a fading Southern pageant queen, an aging refugee from Nazi Germany, a fish-out-of-water Jew in New Hampshire, a suburban doctor in a predicament and a Euro-club-kid with an unsavory edge. Throughout Rhodes alternates these characters with candid stories from his own experience, ultimately seeking a place of clarity and authenticity in his creative and personal life.
Charles Loffredo directs, and
Greg Emetaz provides a scenic environment comprised of projections that reflect the show’s themes. Lighting design is by
Charles Cameron.
Performances begin August 16th at Urban Stages Theater, 259 West 30th Street in Manhattan, and continue through September 23rd, playing Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8 PM and Sundays at 7 PM. Tickets are available at
SmartTix.com, or by phone at 212-868-4444. Tickets are also available at the theatre one hour prior to curtain. |
