RS Show Development

Hello, Internet.

My name's Kate Foster and I'm the resident playwright for Rising Sun, this fabulous downtown OOB theater company. Maybe you've heard of them, maybe you've lusted after them, maybe you've seen EVERY show Rising Sun's EVER mounted... Good for you!

We have an exciting fall coming up, pulling on the talents of our fearless leadership, a brand new Rat-Pack of AMAZING directors and a wildly beautiful and funny ensemble. No, but seriously, I'm being modest.

Look out for upcoming development and production of:

Cabaret- PROJECTED Fall 2011

Using song, text and sexyness, five actresses talk about what brought them to NYC from Israel, Texas, Turkey... New Jersey, and what keeps them under NY's rent-poor spell.

STRIPPER-LESBIANS et al- PROJECTED Fall 2011/Winter 2012

A new play by Kate Foster. Directed by Jeff Woodbridge. Featuring: Temi Hason, Amanda Berry, Joe Beaudin. A woman's studies major becomes a stripper for her thesis while falling in love with.. a stripper. Do stripper's really make the best girlfriends?

Michelle Bachmann- PROJECTED Winter 2012

A solo show about the most exciting woman in America.

Wives of Henry 8- PROJECTED Fall 2012

A show that puts Big Love to shame.
