THE SCANDAL is a one-woman show about a small town gal, Pink, who has devised the perfect, poetic suicide plan.
THE SCANDAL is a one-woman show about a small town gal, Pink, who has devised the perfect, poetic suicide plan. Her journey is complicated by a distant mother, a judgmental entourage, the ghost of her father and a mysterious new comer. In a world so small, everyone is hungry for a scandal.


The Management creates a haven for a community of artists and patrons to experience relevant, moving, unpretentious, aesthetically and financially accessible theater. We are known for our dark whimsy and critical exposés on American culture, while building rock-solid, visceral entertainment. Welcome to the building. Formed in 2004 as part of New York’s UnConvention Festival, their first production was the Brecht-inspired This Jungle of Cities penned by founding member Berrian Eno-Van Fleet. In 2005 the company enjoyed an 8-month residency at Victory Hall in Jersey City where it produced the East Coast premiere of Naomi Izuka’s Aloha Say the Pretty Girls and Thornton Wilder’s The Long Christmas Dinner. The Mgmt took part in the inaugural Capital Fringe Festival in Washington D.C. in ’06 with the grotesquely humorous, existential play Self-Obsession in Blue (and again in ’08 with The Chalk Boy) and is currently showcasing new playwriting through their 2008 Salon Series in NYC. The Management also produced bi-coastal productions of The Chalk Boy, written by Co-Artistic Director Joshua Conkel in both LA and NYC last September.
