FOUR GORN CONCLUSIONS by Albi Gorn will open at the Producer's Club, 358 West 44th St, April 16th at 7pm

FOUR GORN CONCLUSIONS by Albi Gorn is a whimsical look at the unlikely way that couples form and navigate relationships. The quirky turns that the plays make echo the unpredictable course of love, and the humor springs from the unique ways in which we fit our dysfunctionalities together, like interlocking pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. The four one-act plays: DOUBLE DATE, THE RUB, VERBATIM and IT'S ABOUT FORGIVENESS (winner of the Strawberry One-Act Festival, Winter 2006) were directed by Mark Cirnigliaro. The show opens at The Producer's Club, 358 West 44th Street, between 8th & 9th Avenue.

Show times: Thursday and Friday at 7pm; Saturdays at 9pm and Sundays at 3pm
Tickets: $20.00 Available online at www.therianttheatre.com. CASH ONLY AT THE DOOR.
