Semi-Permanent at the Ace of Clubs

Audible Productions, Inc. presents Semi-Permanent, written and performed by Rick Gradone, directed by Johanna McKeon, at the Ace of Clubs from 3 Feb - 23 Mar 2008.

Semi-Permanent: Rick Gradone, whose clients include everyone from Naomi Campbell to Eartha Kitt, explores the social implications of popular hairstyles, from the classic to the ridiculous. In the course of the evening, Gradone wittily attempts to elevate hairdressing to the level of high art. When he is inadvertently thrust into his own past, he is forced to explore the reasons he became a hairdresser and not the artist he had hoped to become. His struggle to redefine his life work leads to an epiphany that all work, even hairdressing, can be meaningful.

The design team comprises Lara Fabian (sets), Joel Silver (lighting) and Stefano Zazzera (sound).
