Hello IC fans,
Tickets are on sale now for SHIPWRECK! Already? Yes! Click here or visit www.BrownPaperTickets.com. The space (of course) is intimate so it's highly recommended to get your tix in advance. But don't worry, I'll remind you about that again later. For now enjoy a sneak peak at the space.
Triskelion Arts is a fantastic performance venue - with gorgeous floors, a lovely deep playing area, and perfectly raked seats - but even better, it has a secret. Infinite Coast doesn't like to do things the "traditional" way, so of course we're taking the audience off the rake and onto the floor. (In seats still, don't worry I'm not making you stand for this one) But, even more radical, we're going to use a part of the space that everyone else would rather keep hidden: the windows.
When I first moved to NYC, I was rehearsing with MayDance (then just Juliana May herself) and we had a Fall season 6-9pm slot in the theater space at Triskelion. That meant we got to watch the sun set over the Manhattan skyline through these same windows. It was one of the things that made me fall in love with this city, and since I've been living in Williamsburg for the past six years (!!) that view is also now a part of my home. Producing SHIPWRECK in Williamsburg is a way for me to celebrate my feelings about this neighborhood and the city I love. New York has an amazing ability to make you feel happy about being sad, in a more exquisite way than anywhere else I've ever been. I think SHIPWRECK's characters can relate to that feeling, and I'm glad to be able to put them in a space so inspiring and beautiful. In fact, my friend Chris in Chicago would call it "beautifully sad" and I think that about sums it up. What do you think?
Til next time,
Alexis
