Naked Exploration of Psychic Abilities

The cast for Naked Came the Painting, a one act comedy by LindaAnn Loschiavo, will begin rehearsals in Manhattan's theatre district on Monday, 18 October 2010.

• • One of the arguments between the mother and the daughter has to do with MEREDITH's belief that she possesses psychic awareness and an aura.

• • AMELIA scoffs:  "You don't have an aura, Meredith!  No one does!"

• • Do you believe that a human being has an aura or the ability to see these?

• •  Here's how Robert T.  Carroll defines the term:  An aura, according to New Age metaphysics, is a colored outline, or set of contiguous outlines, allegedly emanating from the surface of an object.  Under ordinary circumstances, auras are only visible to certain people with  special psychic power.

• • According to author Robert T. Carroll, Ph.D., his book The Skeptic’s Dictionary provides definitions, arguments, and essays on subjects supernatural, occult, paranormal, and pseudoscientific.   Carroll adds:  Another purpose of The Skeptic’s Dictionary is to provide references to the best skeptical materials on whatever topic is covered. So, for example, if that pesky psychology teacher won’t let up about “auras” or “chi” being inexplicable occult phenomena, you can consult your Skeptic’s Dictionary and become pesky yourself with more than a general skepticism.

• • Skeptics and believers will both enjoy this comedy.  But first you need to buy a ticket or make one materialize.

• • This spirited three-character comedy — — that explores the boundaries between art and artifice — — will make its debut at the 2010 Harvest One-Act Play Festival.  Variations Theatre Group will offer performances between November 10th — 20th, 2010 at the recently renovated LABA Theatre at the 14th Street Y, 344 East 14th Street, New York, NY 10003.
• • In the cast are: Lila Smith, Katherine Mylenki, and David A. Green.
• • Shela Xoregos will direct.
• • Specific performance dates and times will soon be finalized by Variations Theatre Group and announced.
• • Subway: Union Square Station/ IRT Lexington, 4, 5, 6; First Avenue Station / L line
