Set in a courtroom in a void called “Hope” - located somewhere in the bad part of downtown purgatory, and at a time when it is no longer for contemplation, but for litigation, Last Days takes us on a journey into the appeals trial of one Judas Iscariot - the infamous “Savior Betrayer” of the gospels. The Last Days of Judas Iscariot is proud to include some of the finest actors working in Central Florida : Dennis Neal, Babette Garber, Peg O'Keef, Stephen Lima, Alexis Jackson, Avis Marie Barnes, Roger Floyd, Lawrence Benjamin, Marty Stonerock, Mark Edward Smith, Jeremy Wood, Trenell Mooring, Joel Warren, , Thomas Young, Sarah Lee Dobbs, Pat Ward, and Valensky Sylvain. The work is to be directed and designed by John DiDonna, with additional direction by Empty Spaces co-artistic director Seth Kubersky, with original sound design by Kevin G. Becker and costuming by Jennifer Bonner. |

The production features well known Central Florida actor Dennis Neal as Lucius Jenkins, a drug addicted “god fearing man” awaiting extradition and death in Florida for crimes so heinous that they are numbing; Roger Floyd as Angel Cruz, a man who perhaps has done the most loving and heroic thing, in all the wrong ways; Alexis Jackson as Mary Jane Hanrahan, the public defender caught between doing the right thing, or doing the right thing; Lawrence Benjamin as D’Amico, a former prison guard who is guilty of one thing – liking Lucius Jenkins: and Jeremy Wood as Valdez, a guard best described as “Man ain’t nothing but a test of faith”. |

t h e e m p t y s p a c e s t h e a t r e c o. is honored to present Martin Sherman's controversial and provocative play “It's O.K. I won't drop you. I'll hold you. If I stand at attention I can hold you. They'll let me hold you. I never held you before. You're safe.” |

“We are hidden behind masks that cover up our deepest insecurities, fears and emotions.” Fear. Phobias. Anxiety. It intrigues us. We hide it and try not to discuss it past childhood. Each day we are taught to block out or cover up our feelings, repressing that part of our very selves. PHOBIAS is a movement theatre performance exploring how fear manifests itself in the body. Do we Retreat? Collapse? Hide? Expand? Excite? Freeze? |

An outright laugh riot which explores power, politics, greed, envy and manipulation! Ubu Roi
