2013-2014 Season

The Submission: March 7 - 22, 2014

“The Submission”

By Jeffrey Talbott

March 7, 2015 - March 22, 2015
March 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22 at 8pm and March 16 at 2 pm


Premiered March 2014
Presented by iTheatre Collaborative

Danny has written a new play about an African-American family trying to get out of the Projects, and it has just been selected for a preeminent play festival. Problem is: Danny, a young, gay, white playwright, submitted the work under a pen name in the hope of increasing its chances for production. So he hires Emilie, a black actress, to stand in for him as author. What starts as a terrible idea becomes more terrible as Danny drags Emilie, his boyfriend, and his best friend down a long and dirty path of lies, hypocrisy and betrayal. A fiercely funny and intelligent new comic drama about the words we use to describe each other and the things we'll do to get what we want. "The Submission" was a semi-finalist for the 2010 O’Neill Playwrights Conference and won the inaugural Laurents-Hatcher award in 2011. It also won the 2012 Outer Critics Circle John Gassner Award for Best New Work. Please note this play deals with controversial themes of race and sexuality, and the power of words and language. It contains explicit, even profane, language.

Since its beginning, iTheatre has produced theater that was challenging, thought provoking and maybe changed the way you think about theater and what it can be. And that's certainly not going to change. So, in addition to ticket sales, we rely on public and private grants, sponsorships and individual donations from people like you. Even if it's $5 (no donation is too small) or $5000 (no donation is too large), your contribution will make a huge difference onstage at iTheatre.
