A grieving poet creates a commune of nursing mothers
to form a paradise for his dying child.
Baltimore Sun says...
Sexism and horse racing on right track in Venus Theatre's 'Devil Dog Six.' The many twists and turns in the fast-paced, drama-filled "Devil Dog Six" flow well together, and its professional cast gives an attention-holding performance. The show makes for a great night at the theater for a play that tackles issues in an industry that still lives on in Laurel.
-Gwendolyn Glenn, Baltimore Sun
DC Theatre Scene says...
The script is intelligent and full of different themes... Devil Dog Six also fits with the mission of Venus Theatre, “Setting flight to the voices of women,” like a well-cinched saddle. In addition, it’s clear that Fengar Gael knows her horse racing. Director Randall and the artistic team also do an excellent job making a simple black box theatre serve as a variety of settings such as race tracks, Tramore Farms, a hospital, and a Vodoun church.
Devil Dog Six presents an interesting inside view at the issues faced by a young woman in a well-drawn occupational microcosm. Even if you are not the type to tune in to the Triple Crown races each summer, it is easy to enjoy this new Venus Theatre production.
-Steven Mcknight, DC Theatre Scene
DC Metro Theatre Arts says FIVE STARS...
This production takes you on a unique human experience; feeling the struggles of overcoming gender-imposed adversity, bonding with an animal that has no such gender restrictions, and ultimately challenging the prospect of hope with a triumphant ending.
You can make a surefire bet that Devil Dog Six will be one of the most compelling and unique stories you see this fall. Be sure to get your ticket before the races close!
-Amanda Gunther, DC Metro Theatre Arts

Travel and tickets information
While discovering some forgotten paintings, a Manhattan gallery owner unearths a sordid family history of repressed passions and animal possession set against the backdrop of London between the Wars.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY
“Gael has impressively woven together The Gallerist’s far-fetched premise, along with multiple intersecting timelines, to create an unconventional and suspenseful tale. Director Catherine Tripp’s production is further heightened by an impeccably cast ensemble of performers.”
-
Washingtonian
“Gothic thrillers, The Picture of Dorian Gray and movies like “Rebecca” send you swooning, alight from the Victorian fainting couch and get on over to the Atlas Performing Arts Center for this world premiere production under the imaginative direction of Catherine Tripp. It’s freaky good fun.”
–DC Theatre Scene
“A fusion of gothic horror, Freudian intrigue and lesbian romance, Fengar Gael’s drama, in a world premiere by Rorschach Theatre, is tantalizingly oddball.”
-- Washington Post
“:A disturbing high tea, with evil animal spirits and a hot lady who gets possessed by a monkey… What you see will most certainly be a surprise…you can trust Rorschach to give you a night of something new, and you can trust that they will do it like pros.”
–The Pink Line Project
“Rorschach Theatre continues to maintain a standard of excellence among its artists with their wonderful production of The Gallerist. With this production Rorschach will surely see it rise as one of the top tier theaters in DC. Catherine Tripp molds a wonderful cast with mastery and wit. The production is entertaining and the conceits are fun. The cast is just delightful and each perform several bits of emotional and sometimes physical acrobatics as they switch from character to character.”

THE WILL GREER THEATRICUM BOTANICUM
WOMEN WRITERS NURTURED BY "BOTANICUM SEEDLINGS"
READINGS OF NEW PLAYS ON JUNE 5, 12 & 19
The actors are from left at back:
Tom Halligan and Mary Jo DuPrey
in front: Taylor Jackson Ross, Misha Bouvion, Will Barker,
Joanna Bateman, and Ron Morehouse
"Botanicum Seedlings," The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum's development series for playwrights, will showcase three diverse female writers as part of its 2011 Spring Playreadings: Fengar Gael's The Gallerist on Sunday, June 5; The Versailles by Erica Jones on Sunday, June 12; and Lucile Lichtblau's The English Bride on Sunday, June 19. All readings begin at 11 am, and admission is free.
"We don't intentionally look for female playwrights," says Theatricum playwright-in-residence Jennie Webb. "But as it turns out, over half of the plays we support are written by women - this at a time when only 20% of the works on Los Angeles stages are female-authored. We're glad we can do our part to help get fresh voices and unheard stories out there."
Initiated in the fall of 2002, the Botanicum Seedlings series acts as an adjunct to Theatricum Botanicum's Summer Repertory Season, commencing each year before the summer activities are underway, continuing with spring playreadings as the season opens, then culminating after the season winds down with a fall workshop production or playreadings.
- "BOTANICUM SEEDLINGS"
- Sunday, June 5 at 11 am - The Gallerist by Fengar Gael, directed by Sara Israel
The story of a demonic monkey's ability to wreck havoc through generations, The Gallerist travels in and out of the past for a wonderfully macabre look at sordid family history and repressed passions, artistic and otherwise.
- Sunday, June 5 at 11 am - The Versailles by Erica Jones, directed by William Dennis Hunt
A comic tale of yuppie paradise lost, The Versailles charts the lives of five condominium owners as they fight for their survival and their honor in the aftermath of the real estate boom and bust.
- Sunday, June 19 at 11 am - The English Bride by Lucile Lichtblau, directed by Julie Retzlaff
Part thriller, part love story, The English Bride explores an aborted terrorist attempt from the point of view of its three characters: a Mossad agent, an English woman and an Arab Israeli man.
The Botanicum Seedlings Spring Playreadings take place in Theatricum's intimate S. Mark Taper Foundation Pavilion. Admission to the playreadings is free and open to the public; donations to support this series will be gratefully accepted
The Cantor's Tale was produced at the Hunger Artists Theatre Company of Fullerton, California in January 2011, directed by Jill Johnson.
