CRIME OR EMERGENCY
by Sibyl Kempson
performed by Mike Iveson & Sibyl Kempson

January 11-13, 2008

---

Mike Iveson and Sibyl Kemspon distill Kempson's 11-person play into a rapturous, desperate and harried duet. Inner personal violences take hold and multiply. Witness the life-or death hoo-ha that threatens to be swallowed whole by Iveson's demonic arrangements of the indigenous music of their native New Jersey.

directorial guidance: John Collins
dramaturgy: Andi Stover

CRIME or EMERGENCY was originally commissioned by Dixon Place.

Friday, January 11, noon

CollaborationTown’s 4th Annual Winter Gala

With a fifth birthday in sight for CollaborationTown, this year’s wintry celebration will still put the ‘fun’ in fundraising while adhering to Rules of Etiquette so basic that even the proletariat can follow, such as wearing clothing suited to the occasion. (Translation: This year’s Annual party is in a crazy-beautiful space with a fireplace and a spiral staircase! Yup -- we're classin' it up...then breakin’ it down!) Come early for cocktail hour, hor d’oeuvres, live jazz, and REALLY amazing auction items (and by amazing they mean tickets to The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, Playwrights Horizons, Roundabout Theatre Company, HERE Arts Center, and Pearl Theater Company tickets, Film Forum and IFC memberships, Chelsea Piers Gold Passports, – and more!) Stay late for DJ Smirk and etiquette-be-damned dancing!
