Three Shorts by Tim McNeil at Stella Adler Theater

Secrets, anxieties, faith and desire set characters off on life-changing quests in this evening of one-acts from the talented mind of Angeleno playwright Tim McNeil. In Purplish, a terminally ill writer, trying to understand what comes after life, recruits her estranged love Amanda to help her discover the truth of her life, her love and her career. Schism is an absurdist comedy about religion, desire and love in which a man sets up a "Second Vatican" in a Kansas farmhouse in an attempt to bring down the Roman Vatican. Finally, The Straight Bozo is a farcical comedy about the lives and anxieties of Wall Street workers, following a man with a secret along his morning commute on the Long Island Railroad.
