Horse Head Theatre presents Fault Lines by Stephen Belber.  The regional premiere runs Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays – March 11 – 27, 2010, plus a performance Monday, March 15 at 8pm.

After a highly successful debut production in the fall that garnered recognition in the Houston Chronicle’s “Best of 2009,” Horse Head Theatre Co. is poised to bring Houstonians another exciting theatrically-designed experience. Horse Head Theatre Co. presents Fault Lines running for three weekends opening Thursday, March 11 at the Brewery Tap in the heart of downtown. Written by New York playwright Stephen Belber, Fault Lines has not been seen in Houston before.

In line with the company’s mission, Horse Head Theatre’s goal with all of its shows is to create a theatrical presentation that reinvigorates the soul and reawakens the human spirit. Horse Head productions begin and end with ceremonial rituals and create opportunities for audiences to break the traditional code of theatre etiquette.

What starts out as just a regular night at a bar between two old friends reaffirming their friendship over a few drinks, turns into a confusing night of frustration, deceit, lies and unwelcome truths. Horse Head Theatre Co.’s take on Fault Lines will be a night at the bar with a riveting story – where the lines between performer and viewer are barely visible.

Starring Ivy Castle-Rush (Jess), Philip Lehl (Joe), Rick Silverman (Jim), and Drake Simpson (Bill). Live music with original score by Houston's toe-tappin’, head-bobbin’, foot-stompin, dance floor-bouncin’, slap yo mama in the face funk band PLUMP.

 Storyline taken from Dramatists Playservice:
"When Jim and Bill get together to celebrate Bill's thirty-ninth birthday, they meet Joe, who's slightly older and odder, and their boys' night out quickly turns sour. Whole Foods, mini-hot dogs and Edie Brickell abound as together they attempt to delineate loyalty, conviction and betrayal."

Fault Lines premiered Off Broadway at the Cherry Lane Theater in Oct 2008 and has never been seen in Houston.
