a sound and image cutup machine, that has been turning out concerts,
digital transmissions, video art, and sound recordings for the last 8
years. This Machine is for everyone – according to William Burroughs
whose instructions were followed closely to create it. With two tape
recorders and a microphone, performers <b>Jim Findlay</b> and cassette tape artist <b>G Lucas Crane</b> take you on an interstellar adventure into the prophetic imagination of <i>The Nova Trilogy</i>,
Burroughs’ 1960’s space odyssey whose central character is the virus.
Acting as both fictional characters and real-time systems operators, our
time travelers cut internet debris into kaleidoscopic dreamscapes,
prophetic pronouncements, and surreal routines of colonial fantasies and
alien eroticism that expose their complicity in the systems that
control them. Created pre, mid and “post” pandemic, Nova Express is a
fever dream turned time machine that confronts the physical sensation of
living today by traveling back to a time when the political problems we
now face, became unavoidable.</span></p>

</span></p><p>
<span style="color: white; font-family: arial;"><i>Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus</i>, which centers around the cleanup crew called in the day after Shakespeare’s famously sanguineous first tragedy, premiered on Broadway in 2019 starring Nathan Lane and was nominated for seven Tony Awards. Jesse Green of the New York Times named Gary a Critic’s Pick, and called it “the unlikeliest bird to land on Broadway in many a year.” Hilton Als of the New Yorker wrote that his ears “shivered with pleasure” upon hearing the play’s dialogue, which is written largely in verse. Mac will be joined in conversation by theatre critic Laura Collins-Hughes. </span></p>

that reflects on the traumas, politics, world events amidst the coping
strategies with isolation, death, loss and a culture of anxiety. The
text will be a poetic reflection/ response that explores the pandemic,
and all its emotional consequences, embodiment, vision and courage,
agency, absurdity and humanity. Being in New York City, as the hotspot
will reflect on an earlier NYC as an AIDS hotspot while encountering the
rage and sorrow that still remain. Such as the reversal of Roe vs Wade
and the feminist intersections with other challenges. This look back
while trying to look forward creates the performance purpose, passion
and vulnerability of how to employ love despite the hate, to circumvent
humanity despite the violence that proliferates. And the gratitude
within the creative gesture as possibility of re-imagining anew.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: white; font-family: arial;">Any new performance by Karen Finley is cause for celebration, so get your tickets Now at www.spincyclenyc.com.</span></p><p><span style="color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><i><b>COVID VORTEX ANXIETY OPERA KITTY KALEIDOSCOPE DISCO </b></i></span><span style="color: white; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

It depicts the lives of Frank and Louise, two young politically minded immigrant workers in love, as they navigate the financially strapped owners and the incredibly rich families of 1911 New York who had little concept of the horrors of the working class experience. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">New York’s Nature Theater of Oklahoma spent the summer of 2013 in a wildly creative residency culminating in the Berlin premiere of Life and Times Episodes 1–5 and a work-in-progress showing of Episode 6. In the midst of this artistic frenzy, the company filmed an intimate documentary about their creative process, exposing with humor and heartache the reality of negotiating life, work, collaboration, institutional politics, and the public. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You’re invited into a kitchen in a South African township where a fragrant meal is being prepared. As they cook, three generations of a close-knit family banter, share stories and food. Both urgent and exuberant, debbie tucker green’s formally daring play tackles what’s transmitted and lost through generations of a family—and a nation.
<i><b>Generations</b></i> reunites playwright debbie tucker green and director
Leah C. Gardiner following their 2011 Obie award-winning production of born bad and features a 12-person community chorus led by
Bongi Duma (Broadway’s <i>The Lion King</i>). Join us after every performance to share South African music, drink, and food from
<b>Madiba Restaurant</b>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">BAM/Next Wave
Astronauts, Bolsheviks, and middle-American families mingle on a stage littered with lawn chairs, telephones, fur coats, and pistols in this collision of early-20th-century Moscow, midcentury Paris, and late-20th-century Houston. Big Dance Theater directors Annie-B Parson and Paul Lazar sample fragments of iconic film scripts and novels, divorced from their narrative contexts, to create a kinetic collage of political rhetoric, pathos, paranoia, and suburban love. With a titular nod to the Hollywood pseudonym[1] for directors who disavow their work after creative interference, <i><b>Alan Smithee Directed This Play </b></i>contemplates the slippery nature of creative control, history, its fictions, and the inextricable link between the personal and the historical. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The fabulous <a href="http://www.elevator.org/" target="_blank">Elevator Repair Service</a> has taken a break from their American Lit plays to present a little gem of a show called <i><b>Arguendo</b></i>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The premise of </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i><b>Arguendo</b></i> is a 1991 </span>U.S. Supreme Court case, Barnes v. Glen Theatre, brought by a group of go-go dancers who claimed a First Amendment right to dance totally nude. The case examines an Indiana law that banned public nudity. At oral argument, the Justices attempt to define dance, ponder nudity in opera houses vs. strip-clubs, and ask whether naked erotic dancing is artistic expression or immoral conduct. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Arguendo is a staging of Barnes v. Glen Theatre’s entire oral argument, verbatim, interspersed with bits of real interviews with the justices, the lawyers and an exotic dancer who traveled all the way from the Déja Vu Club in Saginaw, Michigan to listen to the argument at The Supreme Court. It all culminates in an operatic dance frenzy, complete with some nudity. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If this all sounds a little dry, rest assured that the usual ERS inventions are all present including hilarious sounds effects and dazzling video work highlighting legal case citing. What becomes most interesting are the supreme court justices own hangups and humanity while trying to sort through the facts of the case with questions like: Can dance express something? Would nudity be more acceptable in opera? Why is the establishment where the woman are dancing called a "bookstore"? What is a public place?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a smart and entertaining 80 minutes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Public Theater presents<br />

They launched a very successful Kickstarter campaign to bring <i><b>Mildred Fierce </b></i>to New York - appropriately enough to the venue that for years was a movie revival house.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We love <a href="http://www.oktheater.org/" target="_blank">Nature Theater of Oklahoma</a>, so we could not be more excited to see the next episode and a half of their LIFE AND TIMES at Florence Gould Hall. The latest in the life saga of <span class="st">Kristin Worrall takes up through high school and Worrall's first sexual experiences. Apparently, these episodes veer away from performance with Episode 4.5 </span><span class="st">being 30-minute animated film and Episode 5 being a </span><span class="st">medieval illuminated manuscript with sexually-explicit, hand-drawn
illustrations, given to each audience member along with a flashlight. </span></span><br />

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xfi8X8eSyEY/Ui4Otq8pK3I/AAAAAAAACYs/g9E09DVxTVw/s400/mrburns7.jpg" width="400" /> </div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anne Washburn's <i><b>Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play</b></i> is now playing at the invaluable <a href="http://www.playwrightshorizons.org/" target="_blank">Playwrights Horizons</a>. With music by Michael Friedman and directed by Steve Cosson, Mr. Burns might just be the most unusual show you see this season. The play begins in the not-too-distant future after some sore of catastrophe. Survivors band together, trade names of people they've met who are still alive in hope of hearing about loved ones, and recount episodes of The Simpsons. The play jumps forward seven years in act two, after a brief pause, as society begins to rebuild and our group of survivors are staging Simpsons episodes (complete with commercials) as entertainment, including pop song production numbers, for others in what appears to be a thriving business enterprise. Act three jumps 70 years further into the future, where these Simpsons recreations have taken on mythical, operatic stats where we are treated to a full production of what this entertainment genre has become.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We suggest a fresh (or first time) viewing of the Simpsons episode "Cape Feare" if you are planning on seeing Mr. Burns. It will definitely enhance your experience. <i>Suggestion to Playwrights Horizons: have this playing in the lobby pre-show and invite audience to come early! </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can view the episode online <a href="http://www.wtsof.com/watch/S5E2-cape-feare" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a show that will stick with you. It's thought-provoking and smart and visually exciting. Look for a lot of good reviews. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We are really looking forward to a new exhibit opening in October at the <a href="http://www.whitney.org/" target="_blank">Whitney Museum</a> called <b>Rituals of Rented Island: Object Theater, Loft Performance, and the New Psychodrama—Manhattan, 1970–1980</b>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Organized by Jay Sanders, Curator and Curator of Performance, this exhibit will look at the radical period of 1970s performance art that flourished in downtown Manhattan, or what filmmaker and performance artist Jack Smith called “Rented Island,” that still remains largely unknown today. Working in lofts, storefronts, and alternative spaces, this group of artists, with backgrounds in theater, dance, music, and visual art, created complex new forms of performance to embody and address contemporary media, commercial culture, and high art. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The exhibit open on </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Oct 31, 2013 and will run through February 2, 2014.</span></span></span><br />

We'd caught it during the initial run as part of The New York International Fringe Festival and it has now been picked up as part of Fringe Encores where it is getting additional performances at <a href=http://www.theplayerstheatre.com/ target=_blank>The Players Theater</a>. The play has been ever-so-slightly re-staged for the new venue to excellent effect but everything we liked about it the first time is still intact. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MBxS7C1sTrU/UitkECJtb_I/AAAAAAAACXg/3x5CynCS7hE/s1600/PENINSULA1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MBxS7C1sTrU/UitkECJtb_I/AAAAAAAACXg/3x5CynCS7hE/s400/PENINSULA1.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>PENINSULA</b></i> very deservedly won a Fringe Excellence Award for Outstanding Ensemble who not only work so well as a whole, but also each give complex individual performances that struck deeper on second viewing: funnier, sadder, more dangerous, more helpless, more honest. <span class="st">Nadia Foskolou's fluid almost dance-like direction is like watching choreographed filmatic cross-fades.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="st" style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="st" style="font-size: small;">Playwright Nathan Wright has created a play that is complex, dark and funny that rings more true than you may like. Some of the poetic passages and motifs may be used too often but this is a minor quibble for what is easily one of the best plays in NYC right now.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We received an email this week announcing the closure of The Collapsable Hole, the scrappy artist-run space in Williamsburg. Run jointly by the people of <a href="http://radiohole.com/" target="_blank">Radiohole</a> and <a href="http://www.collapsablegiraffe.org/" target="_blank">The Collapsable Giraffe</a>, it's probably amazing that it lasted 13 years. But it is still sad news. In <a href="http://ooblogway.blogspot.com/2013/01/another-one-bites-dust-rip-red-room.html" target="_blank">January</a> we mourned the loss of Horse Trade's Red Room and The Living Theater's space on Clinton Street. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Of course there are a few new spaces to celebrate: <a href="http://www.jackny.org/" target="_blank">JACK</a> and the new space that <a href="http://www.tfana.org/new-home/overview" target="_blank">Theater For A New Audience</a> will open shortly, albeit on a different scale than the spaces mentioned previously. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As <a href="http://www.culturebot.org/" target="_blank">CultureBot</a> and <a href="http://brooklyncommune.org/" target="_blank">The Brooklyn Commune Project</a> have been arguing - things are broken and a new model is needed. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There will be one final party/memorial service on Saturday, September 14th at 8pm - BYOB. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Catch the latest episode and a half of the life story of </span>Kristin Worrall. With Episodes 4.5 + 5, Nature Theater of Oklahoma embraces animation and visual art in a live performance devoid of actors. Episode 4.5, a 30-minute animated film, begins with the end of high school and the search for love. The saga continues in Episode 5 with high school air bands, secrets, and finally the first sexual experience, graphically remade in the form of a medieval illuminated manuscript with original organ music played live by composer Daniel Gower. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The US Premiere of Wallace Shawn's brilliant and insane play, first produced at London's Royal Court is described as<b> </b></span>a disturbing and anomalously beautiful play that explores the role of
human beings in nature and the role of nature in human beings, sexuality
being as Shawn says, “nature’s most obvious footprint in the human
soul.” The play’s central character is a doctor who believes he has
solved world hunger when he figures out how to rejigger the metabolisms
of animals to tolerate eating their own kind. This has unexpected
consequences. <i><b>Grasses of a Thousand Colors</b></i> tells a story about the doctor, his wife, and his
lovers, that is also a story about human beings and animals and the
planet we live on.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">From the company that created the wonderful MISSION DRIFT comes a duet in which actresses Kristen Sieh and Libby King
tackle two American icons of masculinity: Theodore Roosevelt and Elvis
Presley. </span>On a hallucinatory road trip from the Badlands to Graceland, the
spirits of Elvis Presley and Theodore Roosevelt battle over the soul of
Ann, a painfully shy meat-processing plant worker, and what kind of man
or woman she should become. Set against the boundless blue skies of the
Great Plains and endless American highway, <b><i>RoosevElvis</i></b> is a new work about gender, appetite, and the multitudes we contain.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In what may be one of the weirdest mash-ups in recent theatrical memory, </span>Mandy Patinkin, Taylor Mac and Susan Stroman conspire to bring us </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">the end of the world as we know it. A flood of biblical proportions
leaves us with only two people on Earth, who discover their common
language is song and dance. Together they chronicle the rise and fall
and hopeful rise again of humankind, through music that runs the gamut
from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Sondheim, R.E.M. and Queen.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><i><b>GERTRUDE STAIN'S SAINTS</b></i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Director Michelle Sutherland and an unbelievably talented ensemble bring Gertrude Stein's Four Saint in Three Acts to musical life. Created at Carnegie Mellon University, GERTRUDE STAIN'S SAINTS brings Stein's libretto through a virtual history of twentieth century music. I'm sure Stein would love this production.

<br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">LUNA DEL RAY</span></b></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Chicago's <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.manualcinema.com" target="_blank">Manual Cinema</a> has created a live, real-time animated film complete with opening and closing credits, dissolves, POV shots, close-ups - you name it! And they (re)create it at each performance. The live music ads just the right score to this sweet and magical experience.
