A staged reading of a new play “The Trash Garden” by Padraig Bond Directed by Christina Marks Presented by Velvet Glove Theater The Trash Garden is a beautiful and biting new play set after the inevitable climate disasters approaching our world. We meet Evelyn and Atlas - the last two humans on earth - and their friendly (and sometimes not so friendly) ghost, and track their navigation of a world littered with references from our own and - more challenging than living in the perpetual desiccation of post disaster earth - learning to live with their very human strengths and weaknesses; unlimited imagination, the craving to understand, the lean to cruelty and the desperate need to love and be loved. Wednesday September 1 and Thursday September 2. 7pm.  SATURDAY GIANT

It's an ALL NEW show of devised work AND improvisation in a seat-of-the-pants explosion of comedy, politics, and 17th century English Country Dancing*. The most dangerously talented, bravest and funniest actors working today will use the masks and archetypes of the Commedia dell 'Arte to take on the world we live in now - no bags of gold, arranged marriages or Renaissance-y bullshit! Watch as they transform themselves, space, and time at lightning speed. There will be moments of ecstatic hilarity and moments of deep collective soul-searching. And fart jokes (probably). So if an evening-length comedy orgasm is something you’re, like, into, then come on down to CLOUD CITY JANUARY 25, 26, AND 27. The party starts at 7 each night and the show lifts off at 8. It’s a New Year! You’re a New You! Come get your groove back at a New Commedia Show!

Saturday-Monday, January 25-27th. 7pm.  CANDIDE
By BREAD Arts Collective A comedy concerning ship travel, floggings, rape, justifiable homicide, earthquakes, tempests, Bulgar soldiers, Grand Inquisitors, Christians, Jesuits, Jews, mass murder, death, desire, artistic critique, fallen kings, storytelling, public execution and the general joy and suffering one finds within this: the best of all possible worlds. A brand new, highly physical, and only slightly musical adaptation of the Voltaire classic from the creators of 'Rise and Fall.' BREAD is a multi-disciplinary arts collective dedicated to adapting and devising new work that challenges the typical and stretches the possible. This production of Candide is the first in a series of developmental productions. Saturday-Monday, December 14th-16th. 8pm.  RICKY LAGOON: HE CROONS!
Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Michael Bublé. What do these popular crooners have in common? They’re all dead. But not Ricky Lagoon! Summoned from the 60s, crooner Lagoon and his band hit New York City for a comedy-concert spectacular. That’s right, jokes and laughs. Music, song, singing, and even tunes. Join comedian Kate McCarthy and ten of New York's best young musicians, led by Tredici Bacci’s Simon Hanes, as they perform both lampoon and love letter to a bygone era. A celebration of lush big band music and those familiar standards that get you swinging. A satirization of masculinity. A spectacle of comedy, character and classic sounds that you won’t want to miss. Hosted by Nick Naney. Featuring Dylan Adler and Rachel Sennott. Saturday, November 16th. 8pm. |
