How about something different: the Sublet Experiment
"The Sublet Experiment, a new romantic comedy by Ethan Youngerman, will begin an open-ended run on November 16th. Instead of using a conventional theater, The Sublet Experiment, which is set entirely in a New York City apartment, will be presented in a different apartment each weekend. Directed by Michelle Tattenbaum, the production will travel from neighborhood to neighborhood across the five boroughs and be performed for an audience of twelve at a time."
"In The Sublet Experiment, a serial sublettor, a reality show reject and the worst bank robbers in history collide. It is a comic thriller about love, identity and identity theft as two young people try to find themselves but end up finding each other."
For the record: I love alternative theatre spaces. I once saw a fantastic "midsummer Night’s Dream" in the woods behind the UW’s Psychology building. The stage was a clearing, the seats were blankets, the lighting was tiki torches, and the backdrop was beautiful arcing trees and woods. Best of all: they timed it so that the most magical parts of the play were happening just as the fireflies were starting to light. Genius. An unforgettable time of beauty.
I don’t think this is necessarily a measure of beauty, but the idea of doing a play about a NYC Sublet in (gasp) an apartment is a pretty neat one. If anyone who reads this blog is in NYC and catches this, please let me know what you thought…
