Share the love with Stolen Chair
If you enjoyed Stolen Chair's Theatre Is Dead and So Are You, today is your last chance to help nominate the production and the creative team for the New York Innovative Theatre Awards, the special awards for NYC's indie theatre. These vote along-side the ballots of industry judges, and we would not have received our three past nominations (and one award for Best Lead Actor, Stolen Chair's Cameron J. Oro) without your help. So, if you haven't voted already, we hope you'll take a couple of minutes to show your love for Stolen Chair.
Here's what the critics had to say about Theatre Is Dead and So Are You:
"Smart, stylish, and virtuosic, deconstructing what bothers us about the Final Rest by throwing as many theatrical gimmicks as possible at it...See one of indie theater's smartest and most adventurous young companies..."
-Martin Denton, NYtheatre.com PICK OF THE WEEK
"...More than irreverent. It ruthlessly and riotously dispenses with notions of respect for the deceased...While proclaiming theatre dead, the show's sharp, thoughtful writing, high-impact direction, and skillful performances justify its preservation."
-Ronnie Reich, Backstage CRITIC'S PICK
"A satire full of energy and irreverence...Imaginative text, with great actors and a strong director."
-Mario Fratti, America Oggi
"Kiran Rikhye's raucous spectacle is a pastiche of dead and dying theatrical forms...performed by young, vital and warm bodies, happily proving its title wrong."
-Joshua David Stien, New York Press
"Endearingly eclectic"
-Rob Weinert-Kendt, Village Voice
"...A crude (and quite successful) philosophical comedy...the creativity of the Stolen Chair ensemble is quite alive and kicking."
-Aaron Riccio, That Sounds Cool |
