Drama Desk and Innovative Theater Award Nominee and New York Neo-Futurist Christopher Loar [The Complete & Condensed Stage Directions of Eugene O'Neill]presents The Theoretical Physics of Procrastination [The Second Part] as part of The Brick Theater's sound scape Festival.

Continuing work developed in NYNF'S signature show Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind as well as their recent main stage show On The Future, Loar examines the relationship between procrastination, creativity and global warming. Using lip-syncing, video and live sound creation, the show will generate a unified field and parallel theatrical universes on stage and off, bending time and space to construct a landscape where the performer is both 'here' and 'not actually here.' As the work unfolds, the performer is simultaneously writing the play and not writing the play as the piece reveals itself to be a talent show submission [judged by each night's audience] to earn future safe passage away from a likely burned up Earth to a colony on Kepler 22b. The work imagines and predicts an Earth that is spent, and functions as an investment to make the performer more desirable as a candidate for a future human habitat.

Christopher Loar has been creating and performing his own theater works with the New York Neo-Futurists since 2009, and is a regular fixture in their long running show Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind (30 Plays in 60 Minutes.) He created The Complete & Condensed Stage Directions of Eugene O'Neill, Volume 1: Early Plays / Lost Plays (NY Times Critic's Pick, 2011 Drama Desk Nomination for Unique Theatrical Experience) and has performed or presented work at venues such as PS 122, Incubator Arts, The Bushwick Starr, 3LD, Barrow Street Theater, The Wexner Center for the Arts, Arena Stage (DC), and many others. As a performer he has also worked extensively with Reid Farrington in "Gin& It" and "A Christmas Carol." He is also a sound maker twice nominated for an Innovative Theater Award.

The New York Neo-Futurists are an ensemble of dynamic writer/performer/directors best known for the critically acclaimed, energetic show of original short plays, "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind (30 Plays in 60 Minutes.)" A non-illusory collage of the comic and tragic, the political and personal, the visceral and experimental, "TMLMTBGB" embraces chance, change and chaos as present catalysts of theater making. Developing out of the format that has been a success in Chicago since 1988, the New York Neo-Futurists have roots in NYC from the mid 90's. Since re-opening in New York in 2004, NYNF has created over 2600 plays of various lengths and styles, presenting award-winning, new work every weekend at the Kraine Theater as well as many other venues in the New York independent theater scene.
