Stairwell Theater Mounting Holiday Run of UBU REX

This December Stairwell Theater is mounting a holiday run of Alfred Jarry's anarchic masterpiece Ubu Rex. Directed by Sam Gibbs and featuring the musical direction of Matthew Gibbs, the play makes a circus Cabaret Poland out of AVIV in Brooklyn for a post-apocalyptic dinner party. The nine person cast and three-piece band use music, clowning, food, drinks and an audience "splash zone" to create an unforgettable piece of environmental theater. Stairwell will also perform three "blowout" shows on 12/8, 12/13 at 8pm and 12/20 at 8pm featuring an extra hour of mingling with the characters, buskers and a post-show concert by one of three special guest bands, including Amour Obscur.

The twelve-person ensemble is aided by stage manager Natalie King, production designer Anna Grace Carter, and dramaturg Ariana Karp.

The dates of performance are 12/8 at 8pm, 12/12 at 5pm, 12/13 at 4pm and 8pm, 12/15 at 8pm, 12/19 at 5pm and 12/20 at 5pm and 8pm. AVIV is located off the Graham St stop in East Williamsburg, at 496 Morgan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11222. Tickets are $7 / $12 presale prices, $15 at the door. Tickets for the blowout shows are &10 / $15 presale, $25 at the door.
