Stolen Chair's Community Supported Theatre kicks off with an Open House November 22nd at The Peter Jay Sharp Theater off-Broadway!

After 14 months developing the idea, Stolen Chair is finally launching the country's first Community Supported Theatre (CST), an innovative new way of connecting theatregoers with theatremakers. To give prospective members a chance to see what the Community Supported Theatre concept is all about, we are opening up our Nov 22 launch party to the public. You'll meet Stolen Chair, preview the CST's first season, learn more about our newest project, Quantum Poetics: A Science Experiment for the Stage, guzzle down all-you-can-drink free wine, and see an exclusive live showing of some of the most exciting (and most ridiculous) highlights from our recent creative retreat, including the quantum-inspired "Three Little Pigs." At the end of the evening, you'll have an opportunity to ask questions about the CST, give feedback on the presentation, and sign-up for the CST's pilot season.

What: CST Open House

Where: The Peter Jay Sharp Theatre
416 West 42nd Street, 4th Floor

When: Sunday Nov. 22 @ 7:00pm

Don't miss Flux Theatre's The Lesser Seductions of History. Only 1 week left!

Buy tickets now at www.fluxtheatre.org.

If the CST wasn't launching on Flux's closing night, their Lesser Seductions of History (which has received non-stop raves in the blogosphere!) would be our first CST field-trip. Playwright August Schulenburg, a phyiscs fan himself, has written eloquently about the ways that the quantum physics idea of entanglement is woven throughout this new play.

The Lesser Seductions of History follows ten characters through each year of the 1960's. History becomes as intimate as a lover when the decade's fracture points of Civil Rights, Free Love and Vietnam break and remake the characters in this coming-of-age story.

The Lesser Seductions of History
by August Schulenburg
directed by Heather Cohn

Time: Wednesday-Sunday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 2pm until November 22nd.
Venue: The Cherry Pit - 155 Bank Street

Tickets can be purchased at www.fluxtheatre.org.
