Cave Theatre Company to Stage ROW AFTER ROW This October at UNDER St. Marks

FRIGID New York @ Horse Trade will present Cave Theatre Company's production of Jessica Dickey's ROW AFTER ROW, directed by James Masciovecchio. The production will run October 15-25 at UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place between 1st Avenue and Avenue A) with performances Thursday through Saturday at 8pm, Sunday, October 18 at 8pm and Sunday, October 25 at 3pm. Tickets ($17) may be purchased in advance at www.horseTRADE.info. The show runs approximately 90 minutes, with no intermission.

Shifting between 1863 and the modern era, ROW AFTER ROW is a dark comedy that asks what it means to be brave in the modern world -- do you charge ahead and fight at all costs, or stand your ground to protect what's most important?

The production will feature Kiley Caughey, Alex Etling, and Josh Triplett with Sound Designer Rudy Rodriguez, Jr. and Stage Manager Leah Montesinos.

CAVE THEATRE CO. It is within caves that the first art appeared - tales of humanity carved or painted on the rock walls. Our ancestors walked deep into the earth away from all light and created stories with paint, with fire, with song. We now venture into the dark as our ancestors did and strive to do the same. The lines and shadows flicker and dance in our torchlight. The flickers on the walls create visions of worlds unknown. In this dark, raw, and fertile space - in this cave - anything is possible.
