RENT CONTROL AT THE GREEK CULTURAL CENTER


RENT CONTROL AT THE GREEK CULTURAL CENTER
The Greek Cultural Center presents Rent Control, written and performed by Evan Zes, a personal story of survival as a struggling actor living in the heart of New York City. After back-to-back sold out runs at the 2016 New York International Fringe Festival, following the 2016 Fringe Encore Series and a performance at Ruby Theater at the Complex Hollywood, Rent Control will run at the Greek Cultural Center on Fri 11/3 and Sat 11/4 at 8:00pm and Sun 11/5 at 5:00pm. Fri 11/10 and Sat 11/11 at 8:00pm and Sun 11/12 at 5:00pm.

Evan Zes, an actor/writer, recently seen in Arthur Millers critically acclaimed Incident at Vichy at the Signature Theatre, portrays some 30 different characters in this wild-but TRUE one-man-play that recounts a period in his life as he struggled to survive, live and pursue his acting career in New York City.

When Evan falls backwards into one of the few remaining rent-controlled apartments in NYC, he finds a way to make money and pursue his dream, turning the apartment into a lucrative Airbnb scheme that is until his moneymaking scheme backfires threatening to ruin his life. This cautionary tale has had audiences howling with laughter and at the same time on the edge of their seats. Critics have called it cheerfully profane, a surprise thriller and dangerously hilarious.
