(read more)
SNAP! Productions presents the Omaha premiere of Doug Wright's I Am My Own Wife, directed by Kevin Lawler, from March 8 through April 1, 2007. I Am My Own Wife tells the true story of playwright Doug Wright's encounter with Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an East German transvestite who survived the two most repressive regimes of the Western world – the Nazis and the Soviet-dominated Communist dictatorship. In this highly theatrical journey, Wright is driven to uncover the secrets of a woman whose very existence seems an impossibility. Actor Nick Zadina plays Wright, von Mahlsdorf, and nearly 40 other characters in this widely-acclaimed story of truth and survival. Winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the 2004 Tony Award for Best Play, and a host of other awards, I Am My Own Wife promises a "vibrant, vital, and fascinating" night of theatre (USA Today).
Performances begin at 8 p.m. Thursday - Saturday, and 6 p.m. on Sundays
The final performance on Sunday, April 1, is a 2 p.m. matinee
SNAP! will host a TAG Preview Night on Thursday, March 8
“I Am My Own Wife is the most stirring new work to appear on Broadway this fall...both moving and intellectually absorbing.” —NY Times
Jeffrey

WINNER OF THE 1993 OBIE AWARD,
OUTER CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD
AND THE JOHN GASSNER AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING NEW AMERICAN PLAY
In honor of its 15th year, SNAP! Productions will re-create its production of Jeffrey by Paul Rudnick
SNAP! originally produced Jeffrey in 1994, with Michal Simpson in the lead role. This time Simpson will co-direct with M. Michele Phillips.
Jeffrey, a gay actor/waiter, has sworn off sex after too many bouts with his partners over what is "safe" and what is not. In gay New York, though, sex is not something you can avoid. Whether catering a ditzy socialite's "Hoe-down for AIDS" or cruising at a funeral; at the gym or in the back rooms of an anonymous sex club; at the annual Gay Pride Parade, or in the libidinous hands of a father-confessor, Jeffrey finds the pursuit of love and just plain old physical gratification to be the number one preoccupation of his times - and the source of plenty of hilarity.
Suddenly, just after he's reconciled himself to celibacy, Jeffrey's flamboyant friends introduce him to the man of his dreams, who also happens to be HIV positive. What follows is an audacious and moving romantic comedy with a difference - one in which the quest for love and really fabulous clothes meet and where unflagging humor prevails even when tragedy might be just around the corner.
'Wildly funny... just the sort of play Oscar Wilde might have written had he lived in 1990s Manhattan ... the laughter along the way is a battle cry, a defiant expression of who these idiosyncratic characters were before AIDS arrived, and who they will still be after it has gone. " - The New York Times
"The hottest ticket Off Broadway ... even with AIDS lurking in the background, JEFFREY sparkles ... Mr. Rudnick ... has come up with some of the funniest lines and deftest gimmicks on stage today... He is a master of one-liners. " -The Wall Street Journal
