We are proud to announce that Teaser Cow, written by Clay McLeod Chapman and featuring the OYL acting ensemble will run at Teatro Circulo in New York City from January 14th through February 4th 2010. Mark your calendars and come see what happens when you cross the ancient myth of the minotaur with Fast Food Nation.
From April 9 - May 1, 2010 OYL is thrilled to be producing the US Premiere of Sladjana Vujovic's critically acclaimed The Tender Mercies.
For OYL, 2011 will be a year of international collaborations. We have commissioned Montenegrin playwright Sladjana Vujovic to create a script inspired by the epic story of Gilgamesh. From Ancient Sumeria to New York, by way of the Balkans, this enticing take on Gilgamesh will premiere March 11 through April 2, 2011.
We have commissioned acclaimed Australian playwright Daniel Keene to create a new work inspired by the myth of Thyestes. We’ve never looked forward to a bloody cannibalistic feast more. This sure-to-be-thrilling play, tentatively entitled The Murder Room, will run at Teatro Circulo from June 3, 2011 and run until June 25, 2011.

One Year Lease is back!

One Year Lease is back! The artistic team just got back from Papingo, Greece. We spent a month building the 2008–2009 season and we are extra excited to announce our upcoming shows, including Eugene Ionesco’s The Bald Soprano and Clay McLeod Chapman’s brand new Teaser Cow.
Back at the New York office, the OYL staff is busy preparing for an unbelievable gala event in February, filled with touches from our time in Greece, as well as plenty of gifts, grub, and good times.
Our September wine tasting is coming too, to tantalize you for what’s to come… Take a look around our new and improved website for all the details on OYL.
