In the beginning …

God created man and woman, Adam and Lilith, he created them. Lilith has some questions, Adam has some rules, and in a modern metropolis, Eve must deal with a mess of her own creation.

LEAVING EDEN is a punk-rock creation myth that asks: Is there wisdom in the Garden? And will we have to leave Eden to really know?
 
The production stars Sarah-Anne Martinez (Molly in Peter and the Starcatcher at Festival 56) as Lilith, Janet Krupin (If/Then, Hands on a Hardbody) as Lily, Gabrielle McClinton (Chicago, Pippin) as Eve, Azudi Onyejekwe (The Great Comet, Violet) as Modern Adam, and Ian Ward (Gettin’ the Band Back Together, TV: Veronica Mars) as Ancient Adam.

The production features scenic design by Alayna Klein, costume design by Whitney Locher, and lighting design by Amanda Clegg Lyon. Kimberly O’Laughlin is the sound designer, Jon Bleicher is the general manager, Daryl Eisenberg is the casting director, and Alexis Nalbandian is the stage manager.

LEAVING EDEN will perform as part of the New York Musical Festival dates TBD.

Individual tickets are $35 and will be available online on June 13 at http://www.nymf.org or by calling 866-811-4111. Tickets may also be purchased in-person at the theater ½ hour prior to performance.

LADYSHIP at NYMF

NEW YORK MUSICAL FESTIVAL and LADYSHIP, LLC are pleased to announce the world premiere production of Linda and Laura Good’s (from the acclaimed indie rock duo, The Twigs) musical LADYSHIP, directed by Samantha Saltzman (Matilda the Musical) as an Official Selection of the 2019 New York Musical Festival’s Next Link Project. LADYSHIP will play five performances only at The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre at The Pershing Square Signature Center (480 W 42nd St, New York, NY 10036). The festival runs July 8 - August 4, 2019, with specific dates for LADYSHIP forthcoming. Festival passes are now on sale, starting June 13, 2019, $35 individual tickets will be available at nymf.org.


Teenage Irish sisters Alice and Mary, convicted of petty crimes and sentenced to journey to an unknown land, are forced to make the treacherous crossing from London to Australia in 1789. Based on true events, LADYSHIP is the harrowing story of the 25,000 women who would become the “mothers of Australia”, whether they wanted to be or not.

With a contemporary alternative pop score, the story of LADYSHIP is all too familiar, whether in the 18th century or now — when given no say in their lives or the world around them women will always find their own voice.  


LADYSHIP will perform as part of the New York Musical Festival dates TBD.

Individual tickets are $35 and will be available online on June 13 at http://www.nymf.org or by calling 866-811-4111. Tickets may also be purchased in-person at the theater ½ hour prior to performance.

TECHNODRAMATISTS Performance Laboratory

5/16/2019

Technodramatists, a new theatre and technology company, are pleased to reveal their latest theatrical, artistic and storytelling experimentations. Part stage show, part interactive exhibition, TECHNODRAMATISTS PERFORMANCE LABORATORY is a three-week event showcasing technologically integrated theatre, music and interactive narrative art. The TECHNODRAMATISTS PERFORMANCE LABORATORY will be at TheaterLab (357 West 36th Street, 3rd Floor) from Thursday, June 6 through Saturday, June 22. Tickets are $21 and available at technodramatists.com.


Each night TECHNODRAMATISTS PERFORMANCE LABORATORY will feature a lineup of experimental musicians, augmented reality theatre performances and interactive storytelling exhibits. In between performances the audience is invited to enjoy food and drinks while immersing themselves in the various installations.

The event will launch Technodramatists’ signature development: weARlive, the first augmented reality face-sync app specifically designed for live performance. The app will be featured in performances throughout the event and audience members will get a chance to try it out before and after the show.

Performances include selected scenes from Error: A Comedy Of, currently in development. Actress Claire Tyers takes on all the roles in Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors, augmented with real time motion capture animations, which allow her to inhabit a different cartoon avatar for every character in the Bard’s hilarious tale of mistaken identity.

With Kids Play by Reese Thompson, not-for-profit Recognize Theater uses the weARlive app to explore issues of gender and sexuality. Jenn, 13, wants two things from God: one, to be pretty, and two, for Andrea to be her BFF. When Andrea catches the attention of Jenn’s obnoxious step-brother, Derek, Jenn’s world is sent into a tailspin. Using the app’s face sync technology, the older actors will be appear on screen as pre-teens and seamlessly age over time to their mid-twenties, emphasizing the gap between our self-image and how the world sees us.

The musical portion will be headlined by Sway, an autonomous musical processing system, created by multi-instrumentalist and composer Carl Testa. Each evening offers a one of a kind electro-acoustic performance with Testa playing the stand up bass as Sway’s processor analyzes the tone, density and amplitude of his performance and generates a dynamic musical collage that responds to changes in real-time.


The event is produced by Technodramatists Artistic Director, Lorne Svarc, Supervising Producer, Brian Rardin, lighting/projections/set designed by Kris Stone and Stage Managed by Angelle Whavers. Error: A Comedy Of is directed by Noa Egozi, technical direction by Robert Lester, set and projections by Kris Stone. Kids Play is directed by Kristin Heckler with technical direction by Lorne Svarc.


TECHNODRAMATISTS PERFORMANCE LABORATORY plays the following regular schedule through Saturday, June 22:


Thursdays doors open at 7:30 p.m.; performance starts at 8:00 p.m.
Fridays doors open at 7:30 p.m.; performance starts at 8:00 p.m.
Saturdays doors open at 7:30 p.m.; performance starts at 8:00 p.m.
Sundays doors open at 2:30 p.m.; performance starts at 3:00 p.m.


Tickets are $21 and are now available online at www.technodramatists.com or by calling 1-866-811-4111. Tickets may also be purchased in-person at the TheaterLab ½ hour prior to performance.

Running Time: 90 minutes

Website: www.technodramatists.com

Saturday, June 8: Female Identity in Extended Realities is a Technodramatists hosted Women in Tech and Design Symposium.  After the performance there will be a discussion with a panel comprised of industry leaders in the fields of augmented and virtual reality, design and storytelling, discussing the opportunities emerging technologies provide to create more diverse, inclusive and dynamic worlds in new digital realms (with panelists attached to weARlive and their own avatars projected). The one-night event will benefit STEM from Dance a not-for-profit that uses dance to teach coding to underserved youth in NYC.
