Southern Rep Aristophanes sez "Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever." ...but since it's still a work day, we can only say "Happy New Year" and wonder, "What style of Toga should we wear to the SRT New Play Bacchanal?"
Southern Rep "Remember this! No amount of Bacchic reveling can corrupt an honest woman," said Euripides in THE BACCHAE. Hmmm. Maybe you should test out that theory and book a ticket for Southern Rep's New Play Bacchanal? We dare you...

The Workshop Production of:
The Thing About It – A New Musical
Music & lyrics by Pete Sturman
Concept & libretto by Brian Sands
Additional music by Paul Cowgill
Directed by Holly-Anne Ruggiero
Jan 28th – 30th at 8pm, ...Jan 31st at 3pm
Featuring a Louisiana country-fried pop/rock score, THE THING ABOUT IT is a coming out tale about a man’s journey as he negotiates relationships and love, with an original sound that’ll have your toes tapping right along.
PETE STURMAN
was born and raised in New Jersey. While pursuing his M.A. in English, he took up the guitar and began to develop his own offbeat songwriting style inspired by the likes of Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen and George Jones. He moved to New Orleans in 1992 and started singing at Checkpoint Charlie’s, where he met singer/pianist Paul Cowgill. They began performing together as the unambiguously gay music duo Pistol Pete & Popgun Paul. The two developed a loyal following and released two CDs under Mike West (Fine Red Wine, 1998 and Son of a Gun, 2000). The duos collaborations were brought to a stop after Hurricane Katrina when Pete moved to New York. Pete’s first solo release True Stories was also recorded by Mike West.
BRIAN SANDS
has had works produced by Four Humors (LOVE AT THE LOUNGE), Artists Cooperative Theater (LANDSCAPE WITH FIGURE, ALL NIGHT SERVICE), Dillard University (LAGNIAPPE, A MUSICAL) and DramaRama (featured artist, 2005). His play TWO SECOND LIEUTENANTS IN THE RUSSIAN IMPERIAL ARMY was selected by Des McAnuff as a finalist in the Contemporary Arts Center’s playwriting contest. ROI C. NOGGIN, an adaptation of UBU ROI, was included in DramaRama 2008 and subsequently presented by Pavement Productions in Portland, OR. Brian is a member of the Dramatists Guild and has been the Literary Manager for Southern Rep since 2004.
PAUL COWGILL
is a native West Virginian who moved to New Orleans in 1993 to become a blues musician. While busking on the streets of the French Quarter, he met Pete Sturman and they soon became musical partners. Now, the duo Pistol Pete & Popgun Paul have celebrated 16 years together! Paul currently resides in New Orleans where he was reborn and raised. He is also a co-curator of the Sidearm Gallery and a nursing student.

The Workshop Production of:
Afterlife by Steve Yockey
Directed by Aimée Hayes
Jan 21st – 23rd at 7pm, Jan 24th at 3pm
A ghost story in the most literal sense, AFTERLIFE follows Connor and Danielle as they pr...epare their abandoned beachfront house for an impending storm. But when a great wave comes to their doorstep, they may not be able to escape from the haunting world of grief, death and everything after.
STEVE YOCKEY is a roaming member of Out of Hand Theater. His projects with the company include HELP! and CARTOON. Actor’s Express Theatre in Atlanta, GA presented the world premiere of OCTOPUS in January 2008, followed in May/June by an extended run in San Francisco, co-produced by Encore Theatre Company and Magic Theatre. He is a regular fixture at Dad’s Garage Theatre Company including the short play cycle SLEEPY, a work commissioned to inaugurate the second stage “Top Shelf” series, and the adult-only SKIN – both directed by Kate Warner. Dad’s Garage and Berkeley’s Impact Theatre produced the co-world premiere of the new play LARGE ANIMAL GAMES this fall and WONDER opened at NYU’s Atlas Theatre last December, directed by Rachel Chavkin. OCTOPUS, CARTOON and SUBCULTURE (collected short plays) are available from Samuel French. Other plays include: BELLWETHER, HEAVIER THAN… and BLISS. He is a Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude graduate of the University of Georgia and holds an MFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Steve recently completed a Coca¬-Cola Artist Residency teaching dramatic structure at Emory University in Atlanta, GA and currently lives/works in San Francisco Bay Area as the National New Play Network’s playwright in residence at Marin Theatre Company.
