Over fifty scenes, with over a hundred different characters, Artists Entrained make their debut with Caryl Churchill's modern classic, LOVE AND INFORMATION.

Artists Entrained, a collective of actors who met while performing in Event Energizers/Warner Bros.'s immersive The Polar Express this past holiday season, is excited to present Caryl Churchill's interesting and explorative, LOVE AND INFORMATION. The script, which is written without any character names, settings, and barely any punctuation, has allowed for the ensemble to devise and create a world of characters and stories that try and find truth in an ever changing world, an examination of what it's like to live in our modern world: to love in a world of technology.

Based on Artists Entrained origin, the play will feature immersive elements, with the audience feeling as if the are within the scenes, actors performing around them and sometimes to them.

"This play is so effective because it explores snapshots of these characters' lifes. The scenes range from 30 seconds to a few minutes, they are mere moments," explains Artists Entrained co-founder and cast member, James Cougar Canfield, "It's so relatable, what a better way to explore these connections with the audience than putting the audience in the center of the action?"

Artist Entrained hopes with the success of this debut production to announce a full season throughout 2017-18, aiming to produce new works and reinterpretations of classic material that promote inclusion, diversity, and connection in an immersive manner that allows the audience to directly connect with theatre in a way they may not have experienced before.

The self-directed ensemble consists of Elli Brown, James Cougar Canfield, Bradley Carter, Madeleine Drees, Helena Farhi, Jose Gamo, Dakarai J. Mills, Emily Oliveira, Liz Pegg, Claiborne Tomlinson, Richard A. Torres, Shannon Uphold, and Ruby Vadiveloo.

LOVE AND INFORMATION will perform at St. Paul's Upstairs Theatre (334 S 5th St., Brooklyn, NY 11211), March 29 and 31st at 8pm, March 30 and April 1st at 2pm and 8pm.
