FULL DISCLOSURE
written by Ruth McKee
directed by Jessica Ammirati
starring KIWI CALLAHAN
A one-woman interactive show staged as an actual open house, FULL DISCLOSURE is the story of a very pregnant real estate broker, Sunny Smith, and her increasingly more desperate attempts to sell her listing by revealing everything she can about the house. Potential buyers (normally known as audience members) were treated to fresh baked cookies and glasses of wine as well as an amazing performance by Kiwi Callahan for 14 performances in December at The Poco Space at The Secret Theatre.

SKIN FLESH BONE 
by camilla ammirati, developed and staged by the gttp ensemble
“Words are the ocean, fine, but they were never meant to be the boat.”
From the abstract reaches of poetry to the basic functioning of speech, the language of the play illuminates the struggles of five characters to deal with each other honestly. SKIN FLESH BONE integrates the stories of several people trying to find their way clear of the experiences and expectations, of the words and failures of words, that have held them back. They search for their voices, writing poetry not only with their pens, but with their silences and their actions. By the end of the play each character has gone on the journey to which the title refers, delving one at a time through the layers of how things seem and how things are: the superficial impression of skin, the rich complication of flesh, and the bare truth of bones.
SKIN FLESH BONE is the story of two poets, two builders, and the bridge – or is she an oracle – between them.
SKIN FLESH BONE ran from June 15th-25th at The Secret Theatre in Long Island City. It featured Kiwi Callahan, David Eiduks*, Gavin Alexander Hammon, Laurel Lockhart*, and Maria Silverman*
*denotes members of Actors’ Equity Association in an approved AEA Showcase.
DREAMERS OF THE DAY
Egypt, 1921 – Lawrence of Arabia. Winston Churchill. Woodrow Wilson…and Agnes Shanklin?
On the eve of the Cairo Peace Conference, a lonely American heiress finds herself the confidant of diplomats and the target of the attentions of a possible German spy.
Part travelogue, part journey of self-discovery, Kirkus Reviews calls the novel “an inspired fictional study of political folly.”

LIKENESS
Though this wasn’t a Going To Tahiti Production, because Jessica directed and co-produced LIKENESS, and Jessica is more than 50% of GTTP, we feel confident listing it as a past production.
In Colonial Boston, a young painter gets his first big gig: the portrait of a wealthy Loyalist’s spoiled daughter. When the two are left without an escort, the girl lets her elaborate powdered hair down, and the artist discovers that there is more to the job, and the girl, than meets the eye…and he is more than a bit out of his league. The production, as you can see from the picture to the left, involved elaborate costumes and wigs as well as a wonderful cast, whom GTTP has added to our company of actors.
LIKENESS had a successful eight performance run as part of the Ingenius Festival at Manhattan Theatre Source in January, 2009.
IN THE EBB
IN THE EBB is a series of three original one acts, I Like You to Marlowe, The Ebb, and St. James in the Field of Stars. The three one acts are meant to be performed together. Each show alone deals with issues of loss and fear from the female perspective. Although each one act has a different female lead, these three characters’ different paths converge around similar concerns as the protagonists face issues such as loss and the threat of loss, love and the hazards of love, and the ways in which preventing the loss and maintaining the love of oneself may be the greatest challenges of all.
IN THE EBB opened at The Sage Theater on September 18, 2008 and ran through October 4, 2008. All nine performances went beyond our expectations. The professionalism and talent of our amazing cast not only gave every audience member an evening to remember but also laid the groundwork for what we hope will be the beginnings of a company of players for future GTTP Productions. For everyone who saw IN THE EBB, we thank you for your support. And, for those who missed it this time around, we hope to be mounting another production of the show some time in the future.
