Presented as part of Pipeline Theatre's Brave New Works evening on September 20th: short performances by 9 different theater companies, including ours. Dates, times, and location here.

THE END: a post-apocalyptic film noir unrequited homosexual love story.

lights up. the world has ended. two men are left behind, with nothing but a dead cat, a broken globe, and each other for the rest of eternity. the mystery begins. Will be performed on the September 21st, 27th, and 28th. Tickets and information here.

My friend Ben Lundberg runs a little group called Orange Hats who create an archive of audience response to shows. They did one for Hamlet previously, and now they've done a great one for Performance Anxiety. Enjoy!

We're thrilled that the Orange Hats came out to interview audience members for response after our production of Hamlet. The audience, after all, is the final judge of the work.

Happy New Year: New Website + New Show

Happy New Years, fans!

We hope you spent the night in style, and had a great time ringing in the New Year!

To ring in the new year, we decided to redesign our website. It should be cleaner and better laid out. Take a look and let us know what you think! It's at http://www.organsofstate.org/

Oh, and while you're there, you can find out information about our next show -- Hamlet, directed by John Kurzynowski! John and a cast of eleven actors are exploring the corrupt and grief-stricken world of Shakespeare's Hamlet through meticulous structure and free experimentation in order to fully understand what's so rotten in the state of Denmark. It will be going on from February 24th to March 6th at the Paradise Factory.

As always, we'll make sure to keep you in the loop as to what's going on in 2010, and we look forward to seeing you at our shows in the new decade!

Yours
Guy Yedwab
