"Is This Seat Taken? A Fairy-Tale" - World Premiere of An Original Comic Drama, Written and Directed by Ed Iskandar

Ed Iskandar (Drama & MTL, '04) directs his original script, "Is This Seat Taken?," a witty, blackly comic, hard-hitting satire about a well-to-do East Coast family that reunites over a Thanksgiving weekend during which old grudges and hidden secrets begin creeping out of the family closet. Adultery . . . Seduction . . . Coming Out . . . Poison . . . Immaculate Conception -- the Haineses are about to rewrite the rulebook on family reunions. Meet the family that puts the fun back into dysfunctional for a weekend where no-one escapes unscathed. "A true delight! Thoroughly wicked, moving, funny . . ." raves Amy Freed, Pulitzer Prize nominee and author of Broadway hit "The Beard of Avon." Director Iskandar filmed a full-length adaptation of his script in November 2002 as an independent feature starring Deb Snyder ("Pushing Hands"), Andrew Leeds ("Major Payne") and Steve Martini ("Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire").
