The Theatre Is Dead and So Are You
Stolen Chair's newest work premieres in NYC January 2009

The Theatre Is Dead and So Are You is a vaudevillian meditation on mortality that will stare death in the face and laugh. Audiences will enter an East Village performance space transformed into a Bowery music hall circa 1890, where twelve variety veterans will burlesque Death, using Vaudeville's unsentimental vernacular to theatricalize one of the most sentimental (and sensitive) subjects.

Development has just begun on the project and the company will go into retreat in mid-September to create the work. Read all about the process on Stolen Chair's blog.

From our friends at Redd Tale Productions: Lonely Planet
A new production of Steven Dietz's poignant comedy about the AIDS crisis

Lonely Planet is a comedy about Jody, owner of his own map store, who holes himself in as the AIDS crisis of the 90's rages on outside. When a chair appears in his shop, brought in by his friend Carl, Jody finds that reality becomes harder and harder to ignore.
