The White Stag Quadrilogy portrays sex, scandal and obsession during the late 1970’s and early 80’s where the most hated man in Hollywood reinvents himself as an avant-garde filmmaker. With his ex-wife and a hodgepodge of other old pals in supporting roles, surprises arise when he debuts his four-part cinematic triumph.
On The Rocks is a New York based theatre company, co-founded by Dakota Rose and Christopher Ford. Credits include Marat/Sade at The Robert Moss Theater, McBeth at The Connelly Theater, the fabled West Coast workshops of Bertolt Brecht & Kurt Weill’s The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, and the 2015 premiere of Wolfert at Dixon Place, among others.
The White Stag Quadrilogy features Andrew R. Butler, Rebeca Miller, Derek Smith, Michelle Uranowitz & Jaime Wright. The production is designed by Christopher Ford and Dakota Rose.
The Dixon Place Lounge is open before and after the show. Proceeds directly support Dixon Place’s artists and mission.
