Recommended shows: MAY 8 - MAY 14
A memorable song comes on the radio and all of a sudden we are transported back in time and brought face to face with a memory sometimes decades old. A person walks past with a scent that sends us reeling back to a place, a time, or a person. From nowhere, a smile slyly slides onto our face and laughter bursts forth as images long hidden come back into our now. For as advanced as our science and industry have become, we still do not know what will make a situation memorable, or when we will subconsciously choose to remember it, or even why. The sticky fly-paper of our minds seems to attract any number of the happenings buzzing around us at all times.
This points to a very beautiful thing in that each and every moment, each and every action could be creating itself as a memory at this very moment and stay with us for years to come. This week, MAMA asks each of us to look at the memories we are creating for ourselves and those around us. In you, in everything you do there is forever-ness! Go to the Theatre!
Love,
MAMA

There are very few true legends of comedy that have the ability and insight to take the headlines and topics of the day and shape them into hilarious and original comedy. With an election year around the corner, there is no one better positioned to run the campaign then the irascible, irreplaceable and incomparable Jackie Mason. Starring in his 8th and final one-man comedy tour de force, JACKIE MASON - THE ULTIMATE JEW, at the New World Stages now through June 29th, Jackie is primed and ready to take a fresh and outrageous look at the election and a long list of other issues that he naturally has a comment on.
As one of the last comedy road warriors, Jackie Mason still has the power to take an audience on a journey that is fresh and leave them laughing until they cry show after show. Even the critics unanimously agree, The New York Times said this is "SOME OF HIS FUNNIEST WORK!" The New York Post called Mason's show "SIDE-SPLITTING!" and The Chicago Tribune said Mason is "splendidly funny!" This is a rare and final opportunity to experience the extraordinary, brilliant, and definitive stand up comedy legend Jackie Mason.

LEGENDS, MYTHS, AND HIEROGLYPHS
Producer's Club @ 358 West 44th Street
May 9 2008 - May 13, 2008
Set in a small town in northern Mississippi, the story is told through the wild imagination of a young boy, as he tries to make sense of the world around him without the guidance of a father. His grandmother, after enduring decades of tragedy, tries to hold her failing family together as she enters the twilight of her life. Told in three acts, the audience experiences the zeitgeist of the play - the decline of the black American family fabric.
When asked why he took a step away from film to write this whimsical tragedy, Wren shared, "I've always been drawn to theater that held a bit of magic in its characters, set design, and way of unraveling the story. Unlike most film, theater isn't about recreating reality. It's more than that. It's the way we wish we could see it coupled with the power of our imagination."
Mainspring Collective, a New York based theater company who opened its doors last summer with a creative 1950's adaptation of Euripides' Medea, now continues with its latest effort, the Square One Series. This new project is commited to ensemble collaboration, working with fresh voices that will shape the next generation of live performance and theater.
Mainspring Collective resides at the Producer's Club on West 44th Street and 9th Avenue. Legends, Myths and Hieroglyphs will run from May 9th to May 13th. For more information, show times, and ticket sales please visit us at: www.mainspringcollective.com.
