EMERGING ARTISTS THEATRE will present a return engagement of their
wildly popular and critically acclaimed production of PENNY PENNIWORTH
by Chris Weikel. This spoof of Dickens, directed by Mark Finley, is
produced on Off-Broadway contract. Performances of this limited
engagement will begin September 8 at TADA Theatre.

PENNY PENNIWORTH is Charles Dickens’ "lost" epic as mounted by a
short-staffed theatre troupe with Royal Shakespeare Company
aspirations. Set in Victorian England, it tells the story of young
Penny Penniworth whose childhood love is driven out of town after
nearly killing a wealthy businessman. Soon, Penny finds herself
penniless, left alone to make her way through a convoluted maze of
strange relationships, anonymous benefactors and ultimate justice.

PENNY PENNIWORTH features a cast of four playing a cavalcade of comic
characters: Christopher Borg, Jamie Heinlein, Jason O'Connell, and
Ellen Reilly. The production features costumes by Goody, lighting by
Jennifer Granrud, set by Tim McMath, music by Peter Saxe and sound by
Aaron Blank.

PENNY PENNIWORTH was first presented by Emerging Artists Theatre
Company in 2002. It was subsequently produced by TOSOS II in the 2003
New York International Fringe Festival.  The Off-Broadway premiere, a
reworked, recast and expanded version of the FringeNYC production,
opened in October 2009 and was extended twice.

Founded in 1993, the mission of EMERGING ARTISTS THEATRE is to provide
a dynamic home for emerging writers and artists, to develop their work
from an idea to a fully realized production.  In the past 18years, EAT

Theater Company in NYC for Actors to Work With by Back Stage. During
its 2009- 2010 season, under the Artistic Direction of Paul Adams, EAT
