The Ivy Crest Theatre Co. Presents:
Up, Down, Strange, Charmed, Beauty, and Truth By Edward Allan Baker
A beaten-down, 18 year old girl needs to convince her uncle to free her and her sister from their crazy, violent and drug addicted mother. But salvation, if it is to be achieved, comes at a terrible price and may not be attainable to all. Baker tells a wrenching tale of loves found and lost, of broken hearts and betrayal.

Cast Marley: Kelly Kozakevich Steph: Lacy Marie Meyer Danny: David Newer
North of Providence By Edward Allan Baker
On the last day of their father's life, Carol must convince her despondent, drunk of a brother to come to the hospital and say goodbye. Through tears, violence and confrontations the secret that has been eating away at Bobbie, leaving him in ruin for years, comes out. It's a play about the buried past and how it can keep on burning us for years, but also holds the possibility of redemption....forgiveness.
Directed by David Newer

The Ivy Crest Theatre Co. Mission: The Ivy Crest Theatre Co., founded in 2015, was developed with the initiative to provide professional quality theatre at an affordable price to the NY audience in intimate black box settings. Our core imperative is that the plays we produce resonate with both our artists and audience. It is our commitment to achieve this mission through underproduced forms of theatre, such as one acts or short plays, new works and revivals of Off-Broadway plays. As an NYC theatre company, it is also our deeply held belief that our work should be as diverse as the city itself- providing a platform for women and minority writers but also to focus on works that range from blue to white collar struggles. As to the type of stories we want to tell, Faulkner said it best "the problems of the human heart, in conflict with itself."
