Monk Parrots, Inc., Open Channel Creations, LLC and Roger Smith Arts will present, for the first time as a site-specific event, Barry Gifford’s HOTEL ROOM TRILOGY at the Roger Smith Hotel on October 27-October 29, 2011.

HOTEL ROOM TRILOGY is a trio of one-act plays that take place in a New York City hotel room across different periods in recent history. The event will take place in a room at the hotel and include an audience of only 10 for each performance, creating an intimate, voyeuristic experience of mood and menace for those who “check in” for the 75 minute experience.

The first of the trilogy, “TRICKS”, set in 1969, is a study in identity and psycho-sexual tension that features art-horror film star Larry Fessenden, Rob Sheridan, and Megan McQuillan. “STARR”, set in the present, is a world premiere adaptation of Mr. Gifford’s short story “Room 584, The Starr Hotel” from his book American Falls, and features Darrell Larson as a man on the run from the law, and, himself.  “BLACKOUT”, a quiet, magical story set in candlelight during a blackout in New York City in 1936, features Luke Leonard and Tilly Scott.  Overseeing the action as the hotel’s Bellboy and Maid are Joey LePage and Keely Hunt, respectively.

Monk Parrots



Monk Parrots, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit performing arts organization founded in New York City that encourages creative approaches to theatre-making and builds repertory performance works that cross artistic boundaries.  Every project is unique and benefits from a revolving ensemble of professional and amateur collaborators, yet each production shares the same core values that attempt the impossible and advance the art of theatre.

The company derives its name from Monk Parakeets, specifically the ones that have found their way into the Northeastern United States via overturned delivery trucks and other legends.  Unlike most exotic birds they can survive basically anywhere by working together and adjusting to unusual climates.  They symbolize intelligence, endurance, adaptation, and collaboration.

Inspired by other fine arts, such as, painting, installation, and sculpture, we aim to create work with a lasting impression that explores theatre and performance in a multidisciplinary way.
