For Immediate Release

Dixon Place presents
IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME

a Peculiar Works Project
"An intrepid force in experimental theater" - Stage Directions

written by Barry Rowell
directed by Julia Whitworth

THE CONGREGATION IS IN AN UPROAR BECAUSE THEIR MINISTER CAN'T KEEP HIS PANTS 
ZIPPED, SO THE ALMIGHTY HERSELF HAS COME DOWN TO STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT!

With the largest production in its 14-year history, the new Dixon Place is 
proud to present an original play by Peculiar Works Project, a theatre 
company known for putting big art in small places. Along with a 10-member 
ensemble, IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME boasts twisted hymns, vaudeville shtick - 
and even the Wrath of God! This Elmer Gantry-meets-Groucho Marx tale, written 
by PWP Co-Director Barry Rowell, examines the meaning of true faith and 
exposes how we are all accomplices to the crimes and misdemeanors of our 
leaders.

The ensemble cast features Dixon Place favorites Rae C. Wright and Catherine 
Porter, plus Judith Annozine, Janet Bryant, John Marino, Derrick McGinty, 
Suzi Takahashi, Nomi Tichman, Terrell Tilford and Christopher Hurt as the 
irrepressible minister. Directed by Julia Whitworth, with music arrangements 
by Daniel T. Denver, silent movie by Fernando Maneca, sets by Ray Neufeld, 
lights by Peter Nigrini, costumes by Karin Eckert and music direction by 
Charles Eversole.

Peculiar Works Project, now in its seventh season, is perhaps best known for 
their site-specific performances. They have taken their work directly into 
NYC communities by presenting compelling theatrical experiences in landmark 
buildings, gutted storefronts and other peculiar sites in the Village, Soho, 
TriBeCa, the Lower East Side and, most recently, cyber-space. Their acclaimed 
simultaneous performance marathon, BIG ART in small places, combines their 
site-based approach with a commitment to cross-disciplinary and multi-media 
work. PWP has presented projects in conjunction with such organizations as 
with Lincoln Center Theater Directors' Lab, Gertrude Stein Repertory Theatre, 
HERE, Judson Church, Nada, the Downtown Arts Festival, CHARAS/El Bohio 
Cultural & Community Center, Greenwich House Music School and The Culture 
Project, among others.

IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME is presented as part of Dixon Place's acclaimed Mondo 
Cane! series of commissioned works of theatre and performance art, made 
possible, in part, with private funds from the Jerome Foundation and public 
funding from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs' Cultural Challenge 
Program.
