Our next show is coming!

We’re in the process of developing our next show to be presented as part of the undergroundzero festival THIS JULY at PS122!

We’re super excited to be working with some of the best artists in downtown theater today:

The amazingly talented Ike Ufomadu & Rob O’hare will join Ishah Janssen-Faith on stage as the ensemble.
The visionary Brad Krumholz of NACL fame is directing.
The mistress of words Delaney Britt Brewer is our scribe.
Master of lights Peter Hoerburger is illuminating our world.
Composer extraordinare Daniel Kluger is shaping our universe in sound.
Scenic luminary Eliza Brown will conjure our physical world.

We’re circling back around this idea of moments that pass between people on the subway. We are NOT redeveloping Standing Clear (it was too fun the first time, why would we want to fiddle with that?). We are NOT making a “subway play” (everyone’s got a bad subway play in their bottom drawer, don’t lie… we all do…keep it there!) and we are NOT doing anything we have done before (how can we learn if we don’t do something new?). We ARE starting from a point that interests all the artists in the room and seeing where it leads us all collectively. So far, it’s been a wonderful ride and I personally can’t wait to see where it leads us. We’re so happy to have been given this opportunity to be part of a festival that is really for the artists to develop work. It’s a unique opportunity and we’re still pinching ourselves…

So check back in to find out when the dates are and how it’s going!

PSAs

Hey y’all, I’ve been thinking a lot about the PSAs on the train (Public Service Announcements), mainly because we hear them all the time and because they must be ingrained in us now, right? I mean, I know we know them all by heart. But then I realized, I tried to think of them, and could only come up with a few. So, shout at me, what are your favs from the top 40 of MTA?

Also, I was thinking about how similar they are to the sayings we all heard growing up, or even now, just little catch phrase sayings about life and living etc. I bet we all have super different ones though, and I wanted to hear some others from people. I mean, I grew up in Cambridge and there was some funny ones there, but I know there’s got to be others I have never even heard of, right? So. Here’s the deal. I would love to hear from you. Comment here on you fav sayings, or ones you wish were sayings.

Can’t wait to hear what they are! Then we’ll see what we can do with them.

Thanks!
