Additional Performances Added to UglyRhino's 3rd Annual Micro-Season

UglyRhino announces that additional performances have been added to their 3rd Annual Micro-Season at The Brooklyn Lyceum, September 6th, 7th, and 8th at 8pm. UglyRhino's 2012 micro-season places mainstage plays at the heart of a larger artistic celebration, providing a variety of events on any given evening. What results is a social experience you can't find in your traditional theater setting. The third annual micro-season will focus on music, surrounding the two entirely new musical plays developed by the UglyRhino team, with live bands, two free curated cocktails, and a DJ after party following Friday night performances. 

 

An original play with songs adapted from Kate Chopin's classic novella of the same name, The Awakening tells the story of Edna Pontellier's struggle to reconcile her newfound sexual awakening with the prevailing attitudes and conservative social conventions of late nineteenth-century Louisiana. "Edna began to feel like one who awakens gradually out of a dream, a delicious, grotesque, impossible dream, to feel again the realities pressing into her soul."

GLAMDROMEDA
Directed by Danny Sharron
Book by Bryce Norbitz
Music by Ben Bonnema
Lyrics by Christopher Staskel
One part rock concert, one part theatrical experience, GLAMDROMEDA explores the relationship between glam rock music, sexual desire, and visual hedonism. Using the backdrop of the glam rock movement, we follow our protagonist and his newly formed rock star alter ego through an epic journey of self-discovery in the wake of a life-altering glam concert. 

 

UglyRhino's 2012 Micro-Season will run August 15-September 8 at The Brooklyn Lyceum (227 4th Avenue at Union Street, Brooklyn), Wednesday through Friday at 8pm. Tickets ($18 including all the evenings events; $15 for all performances August 15, 16, & 17) are available online at  www.uglyrhinonyc.com. All ticket purchases will include two free curated cocktails.

THE BROOKLYN LYCEUM is a producing arts venue and cultural center on The Edge of Gowanus. Originally opened in 1910 as an indoor bathing facility, it now plays host to a range of theater, music, dance, markets and community activities. The Lyceum programs small and large artistic works, working with both local and travelling professional groups, and has an array of activities throughout the year, including our large markets and conventions, zumba classes, a drop down batting cage and weekly jazz. The Lyceum Café is open every day, serving Intelligentsia coffee and fresh house-baked goods, including our famously addictive blueberry muffins and Emmet's homemade bread.
