NEWS – 8/18/03:

New Scenario Entertainment is pleased to announce that PIECES (OF ASS), a series of original monologues from a rotating cast of beautiful women, will move to the China Club for a limited engagement. Performances will begin on Monday, September 8th at the China Club (268 West 47th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues).

Following it’s sold-out run at Theater 80 this summer, PIECES… received raves from a number of critics. The New York Times wrote that PIECES… was “Delightfully funny”, and was “directed with a sureness of style by Brian Howie”. The New Yorker said that PIECES… was “A uniquely gratifying experience”, and the Entertainment Weekly wrote that the show was “Really, really hot…honest and hilarious.”

PIECES (OF ASS) features original monologues which all deal with themes uniquely common to the physically blessed female, from the perks and the privileges to the problems and the pressures. These pieces aim to go beneath the beautiful façade and examine the concept of "hot chick angst." More than just a stage show, PIECES…is a complete evening, with live female DJ’s and short films, with drinks served during the performance. Moving the show to the China Club in Times Square will add to the party atmosphere.

PIECES… is unique among off-Broadway shows in that the format allows the producers to mix in special guest stars on select performances- a “CenterPIECE”. “For a night or two, it is the perfect environment for an actress to jump into the rotation and share her unique experiences, to show a different side of herself, to engage an audience for a few minutes on a personal level in a fun environment”, says the show’s director and creator, Brian Howie. Past CenterPIECEs have included Jenna Morasca (the recent “Survivor” winner and Playboy cover girl), Kirsten Buschbacher (“The Bachelor”), Carol Grow (FHM’s “100 Most Beautiful Women”), and Lori Heuring (“Mulholland Drive”, “The In-Crowd”).

New Scenario Entertainment is a New York-based production company which pursues opportunities in all facets of the entertainment industry including film, television, stage, and national events. The company’s feature film, “Mob Mentality”, is scheduled for completion later this year.

PIECES (OF ASS) will begin performances on Monday, September 8th, and will continue through Saturday, October 4th. Performances will be Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm. Tickets will be $30 and $40, with a two-drink minimum. Tickets may be purchased by calling Smarttix at (212) 868-4444, or online at www.piecesofass.com.
