WHAT: The Odor-Eater’s Rotten Sneaker Contest began in 1974 as a
promotion created by a Montpelier, Vermont sporting goods owner
looking to advertise a new line of athletic shoes. At the Montpelier
Dept. of Recreation, the owner discovered a photogenic pair of very
smelly sneakers perfect for the store ad and the rest is history.
Odor-Eaters joined the foot fray in 1988 as the official sponsor.
The contest moved to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Times Square in 2014,
after 40 years in Vermont. The winners of local competitions around the
country travel to NYC to compete for the national Rotten Sneaker title.
Sneakers are judged on odor, condition and the child’s personal
description on why their sneakers are the stinkiest.
The winner receives $2,500, an additional two nights’ stay to see
a Broadway show, the golden sneaker award, a year’s supply of
much-needed Odor-Eaters products and a spot in the Hall
of Fumes.

MARK MEDOFF’S TONY AWARD-WINNING BEST PLAY
CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD
PREVIEWS BEGIN THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 2018
OPENING NIGHT SET FOR WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11th
AT BROADWAY’S STUDIO 54
Children of a Lesser God, will return to Broadway for the first time since its Tony Award-winning premiere production.

Opening night is set for Wednesday, April 11, 2018.
One of the most celebrated American plays of the late twentieth century, Children of a Lesser God tackles the complexities of human connection and communication with insight, wit, and unyielding compassion. Its 1980 original Broadway production earned a Tony Award for Medoff (Best Play), as well as for the two leads: John Rubinstein and Phyllis Frelich. Its London transfer went on to win the Olivier Award for Best New Play. The acclaimed 1986 film adaptation starring William Hurt and Marlee Matlin further solidified the title’s place in the American canon and earned Matlin the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Frelich and Matlin remain, to this day, the only deaf actresses to have ever won the Tony and Academy Awards for leading roles, respectively.

Prurience
By Christopher Green
An experiential entertainment about pornography . . .
March 20-31, 2018
Following a sold-out run at the Southbank Centre in London, Works & Process, the performing arts series at the Guggenheim, presents the U.S. Premiere of Prurience, an experiential entertainment about pornography, written and directed by Christopher Green and co-directed by Holly Race Roughan (People, Places & Things), from March 20-31, 2018.
After interviewing neuroscientists, sociologists, addiction experts, and therapists, British writer and performer Christopher Green presents an immersive theater experience inviting audiences to attend a fictional self-help group that takes a playful look at how sex and pornography are consumed. Questioning the side effects of porn consumption, Green asks audiences to consider if society is in the grip of an actual addiction or a moral panic, through increasingly distorting layers of reality and theatricality. Expect witty observations, surprises, and more than a few laughs. Casting to be announced.

LABA at The 14th Street Y
presents
LABAlive WAR & PEACE: ONE
March 22, 2018, 7:30pm
LABA presents LABAlive WAR & PEACE: ONE, an evening of theater works-in-progress by current fellows on March 22, 2018 at 7:30pm at The Theater at the 14th Street Y, 344 E. 14th Street, New York, NY 10003. Tickets are $20 and are available at www.14streety.org/labalive.
Each year, LABA: A Laboratory for Jewish Culture brings together ten fellows to study classic Jewish texts in a non-religious, open-minded setting centered on a chosen theme - this year's is WAR+PEACE. Inspired by these ancient Jewish texts, three fellows will present new works in an evening of art, drinks, and text.
LABAlive War & Peace: ONE presents the work of Tal Beery, Brandon Woolf and Jess Hanovich, with teaching by Tablet Magazine's Liel Leibovitz.
Tal Beery // and those black braids // Theater
A performance by artist Tal Beery responding to the only item left of his estranged grandmother: her dubious 1949 account of surviving the Holocaust. Beery's impossible search for her real story tangles with a painful past that, like it or not, is gone forever.
Jess Honovich // SUPER PLAY // Theater
What is a superhero, and what exactly makes them "super?" Theater practitioner and playwright Jess Honovich seeks the answers to these questions by interviewing those who know and love them most: three- to five-year-old children. An evolving verbatim performance piece, THE UNTITLED SUPERHERO PROJECT investigates how we learn through play.
Brandon Woolf // M., or, 36 Righteous Coffee Machines // Theater
At the end of page 96b of tractate Sanhedrin, the editors of the Babylonian Talmud begin a lengthy discussion of the coming days of the Messiah. The texture of this Talmudic text-fragment is heterogeneous to say the least: dialogue, debate, parable, philosophical reflection, mathematical calculation, geopolitical commentary, prayer, and conspiracy theory. This work-in-progress performance, conceived by Brandon Woolf, is a meditation on the active, the passive, the apocalyptic, the redemptive, and - perhaps most centrally - the caffeinated qualities of waiting.
Liel Leibovitz // The Slaying of Sisera (Judges 4-5)
When Yael hammers a tent peg into Sisera's temple, it is one of the Bible's most triumphant acts of violence, a celebration of bravery by a heroic young warrior. But before we can rejoice in the killing of a bitter enemy, we are confronted by the palpable sorrow of his mother, who waits in vain for his return. LABA teacher Liel Leibovitz sings the blues for Sisera's mother, sharing how this unlikeliest of biblical figures came to shape our commemoration of Rosh Hashanah.
