UPCOMING PRODUCTION:
Previews begin November 29
“At least one critic has compared his previous work to Beckett. In my case, both Harold Pinter and the young David Mamet spring to mind... You should definitely go see this new work by Jake Shore. You will be catching a rising star." -- Charles Kruger, Stage and Cinema (on Shore's “A Groundbreaking Achievement...”)

ABOUT THE PLAY
Axial Theatre and JCS Theater Company in association with the Oberon Theatre Ensemble present the world premiere of Jake Shore's THE SLIDE IS THE NEGATIVE at The Chain Theatre beginning previews November 29 with opening slated for December 7. THE SLIDE IS THE NEGATIVE stars three-time Emmy Award winner Cady McClain, who is thrilled to reunite with her Orson’s Shadow co-stars Brad Fryman and Ryan Tramont while Sophie Moshofsky rounds out the cast. The play will be directed by Paul Smithyman, a 30-year theater veteran who has worked on over 150 plays at Lincoln Center Theater.
When a photographer betrays her closest friend by displaying an intimate, revealing photograph in a prestigious Chelsea gallery, the fallout spirals into a deadly web of infidelity and violence. THE SLIDE IS THE NEGATIVE is a thrilling and urgent exploration of art, consent, and the price of privacy—asking whether wealth and power grant license to destroy lives without consequence.
