ONE PERFORMANCE LEFT!

There is one performance left of "The Office and the Metal Blob"
FRIDAY AUGUST 28th, 9:15!!!
"Take one part The Office, one part Office Space, a smidgen of Dilbert, a dash of Brazil (the movie, not the country), a whisper of the "Mr. Roboto" video, a little of the Schrödinger's Cat Thought Experiment, a shake of What the Bleep Do We Know!?, put in a little Stomp, give it all to a cast with a talent for musical comedy and top it all off with a Metal Blob named Roxanne and what do you get? You get a musical, wrapped in a comedy, hidden in a satire, standing behind an enigma wrapped in a riddle shrouded in mystery. Basically, it's the recipe for one really fun night."

One More Week for Gertrude Stein's 'Geographical History!'

In this new adaptation of Stein's humorously dizzying novel The Geographical History of America, Human Group plays with the ways we conceive, contextualize, and perform our identities. Employing dance, music, and digital photography, The Geographical History of America is a communal experience for the Facebook age.
-
THE GEOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF AMERICA by Gertrude Stein, directed by Randi Rivera, will feature Julia Crockett, Phil Gasper, Lindsey Hope Pearlman, the musical stylings of Dylan Scott, and set and lighting design by Jonathan Cottle.
-
*The production, presented by Horse Trade Theater Group and produced by Human Group in association with The Centrifuge, will begin in The KGB Bar and then continue upstairs in The Red Room (85 East 4th Street between 2nd Ave and Bowery) 
-
May 14-23, Thursday through Saturday at 9pm. 
-
Tickets ($15) are available by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444 or online at www.horseTRADE.info
