The Neo-Political Cowgirls present ANDROMEDA, 8/29-9/3

This summer, Kate Mueth and The Neo-Political Cowgirls will remount their production of Andromeda, August 29th-September 3rd at the Montauk County Park.

Set under the Montauk stars, Andromeda is the story of a girl trying to find her place in the world. It is an examination of hope and resilience- of the power of believing in your journey, and in finding what you seek. Journey with us and let music, puppetry, and story immerse you in a tale that speaks to the heart of all. Presenting a cast of local Hamptons and NYC actors, and puppets by award-winner Liz Joyce, Andromeda is a unique outdoor experience that is not to be missed.

Andromeda will be performed at the Montauk County Park (next to Deep Hollow Ranch out towards the Lighthouse). Audience members are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chairs. All performances begin at 7:00. Tickets are $25 for adults, $18 for senior citizens (65+), and kids 18 and under. To purchase tickets visit http://m.bpt.me/event/3032969.

In conjunction with the show, Neo-Political Cowgirls will offer a two-day Andromeda Camp children's workshop from September 1-2nd. Working with professional actors, participants aged 7-15 will deconstruct Classical myths to develop their own short plays, then perform their creations prior to Andromeda's September 3rd performance. The workshop is $130 and will take place at Montauk County Park's Third House, September 1st-2nd, 10:00am-3:00pm, with a 5:30pm performance on September 3rd.
