NoMAA at United Palace: “Uptown Boys”

A new one act play “Uptown Boys”

Andy Price (Bernie), Vincent Saia (Anthony), Jonathan Ellers (Ralph), and Tuto Taveras (Chico) star in Adrian Miranda’s Uptown Boys, a raw, fiercely funny, and deeply moving drama directed by Adrian Miranda. Set around a four-top table in Washington Heights, this bilingual one-act play captures the sharp wit, buried trauma, and unbreakable bonds of lifelong brotherhood.

Set during a routine neighborhood card game cluttered with dominos, chips, and beer, Uptown Boys centers on four aging friends whose lives are upended when Bernie (Price) drops a bombshell announcement: he is leaving the Heights for a new life in a different city. The revelation ignites forty years of unhealed turf wars and personal grief, hitting Ralph (Ellers) hardest as he drowns in the unaddressed loss of his family. But when a sudden, chaotic dual medical emergency strikes the table, the masks of machismo must come down, forcing these men to work as a team to save each other’s lives. Uptown Boys is a powerful exploration of aging, survival, and the ultimate strength it takes to finally ask for help.

SÆBØ Arts: Pocket Universe – A Public Reading

Pocket Universe: A Public Reading

Join SÆBØ Arts for a reading of Ted Bushman’s musical “Pocket Universe.”

Sixteen-year-old June lives an idyllic life with her father in a picture-perfect suburban town. What she doesn’t know is that her dad is actually a wizard—and that six years ago, he created the town inside a pocket universe to protect her from something terrifying. But June is growing up fast and asking questions. When she crosses the wall at the edge of town and lets something in, she encounters a familiar stranger and is forced to make universe-altering decisions about her life—and the world beyond the one she’s always known.
