Ten Directions with Calvin Wynter presents Bouffon Glass Menajoree, winner of the 2007 NY Innovative Theatre Award for Outstanding Production of a Play, at the Green Room at 45 Bleecker Street from 29 Apr - 27 May 2008.

Written in collaboration with the cast Lynn Berg, Audrey Crabtree, Aimee Leigh German and director Eric Davis, Bouffon Glass Menajoree is a dark comedic parody of the Tennessee Williams' masterpiece, performed in the style of bouffon. Employing this time-honored tradition of undermining the establishment through verbal and physical satire.

Bouffon Glass Menajoree is a satire not only of traditional American theatre, but of American society, the family unit, and the audience themselves. The production involves direct interaction with the audience: one lucky member will even play the role of the gentleman caller every night, determining how the show ends.

Bouffon Glass Menajoree was nominated for four 2007 Innovative Theatre Awards: Outstanding Ensemble, Outstanding Short Script, Outstanding Direction, and took home the prize for Outstanding Overall Production.
