Audition Notice for THE NEW CENTURY by Paul Rudnick<br>
<br>
</span></b><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Synopsis:</span></b><b><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> </span></b><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>"The one-liners
fly like rockets in THE NEW CENTURY, the rollicking bill of short plays by Paul
Rudnick. Building on time-honored traditions within gay and Jewish humor,
Mr. Rudnick turns stereotypes into bullet-deflecting armor and jokes into an
inexhaustible supply of ammunition…Frivolity for his characters is a
solid existential choice in a threatening universe." —<i>NY Times</i>.
THE NEW CENTURY is a funny and outrageous comedy, but it doesn't stop
there. Mr. Rudnick is in a provocative mood, and the resulting work, set in New
York City in the present day, raises questions not easily answered.<br>
