Nurses in New England, presented by SoHo Think Tank’s Ice Factory 2010

Half Straddle follows up their critically-acclaimed show, FAMILY (A Top 10 of 2009 by Time Out New York), with an intimate, unexpected look at a coastal New England hospital run entirely by nurses. With an original live score, soul-searing songs, and favorite downtown performers including Erin Markey, Jess Barbagallo, and Annie McNamara, among others, Nurses in New England is the latest piece from writer/director Tina Satter.

Nurses in New England is a musically-enhanced glimpse into an idiosyncratic coastal hospital where female nurses run surgeries, secret-smoke, and balance friendship, forgotten love, and conflicted ambition—with the daily stakes of life and death. A comedic and poignant look at the desire to make amazing miracles.
