Fringe Venue: The Studio @ Cherry Lane Theatre


We were just given our Venues and times by FringeNYC. I'm very excited to be performing my show Stripes, in the Studio at Cherry Lane Theatre, 38 Commerce St. Greenwich Village.
The Cherry Lane has quite a history.
"A landmark in Greenwich Village's cultural landscape, Cherry Lane Theatre serves as a lab for the development of new American works. As New York's oldest, continuously running Off-Broadway theatre, the Cherry Lane has helped to define American drama, fostering theater that is fresh, daring, and relevant, for over 80 years."
"In 1924, a group of artists, all colleagues of Edna St. Vincent Millay, commissioned famed scenic designer Cleon Throckmorton to convert the box factory into the theater called Cherry Lane Playhouse. It fueled some of the most courageous experiments in the chronicles of the American stage. The Downtown Theater movement, The Living Theatre, and Theatre of the Absurd all took root at the lively Playhouse, and it proved fertile ground for scores of the twenieth-century's seminal theatrical voices." (From The Cherry Lane Theatre Web site.)

It was the one theatre I tracked down while I was in NY in June and found it tucked away in the winding Streets of Greenwich Village.

Times are still not official til after the 10th of July, but so far mine are:
Fri August 20th @ 2pm,
Sat Aug 21 @ 2pm,
Tuesday Aug 24th @ 8pm,
Wed August 25th @ 6:15pm and
Sat August 28th @ 7:15pm.

Exploring New York

 
 
 
 

Had a great time in New York. Attended Fringe Town Meeting, explored Greenwich Village, did Hellraiser Documentry interview, met fabulous new friends, reconnected with old friends. Had a rehearsal / meeting with my new stage manager, AJ and meetings with John Johnson, ACR (A-credited Company Rep).
Fell in love with Grand Central Station.

Dashed through the Metropolitan Museum of Art, saw special fashion exhibit and Piccaso exhibit and finally found 5 Modigliani's.

Went to a few shows, Red, Race, Fela and Everyday Rapture. Waited in huge line ups for half price show tickets at TKTS...all the shows were sold out, packed houses. That's encouraging.

She sugested I keep a blogg, she designed a new Web Site for Stripes and has had biweekly meetings with me for the PR for the New York Fringe and Moberly Arts Centre productions, as well as doing box office for all three Moberly shows. Cheers to Peggy, undying gratitude.
