THE CONNECTOR is a story about a young man with a gift for charming his way through relationships and no ability to stay attached. He's extremely charismatic and likable, but can't seem to get close to anyone. He hops from one man to the next in hopes of finding a deep connection, but keeps getting tripped up by sex, insecurity and a lack of self respect. THE CONNECTOR is a hilarious, wild and touching story about the importance of loving yourself and how that effects your ability to love others.

From August 18 to September 8, 2013 Theater for the New City (TNC), under the direction of Crystal Field, Artistic Director, will present its fourth "Dream Up Festival," a festival of experimental theater featuring new works from across the country and abroad. The theater's Literary Manager, Michael Scott-Price continues as curator.

With its Dream Up Festival, Theater for the New City (TNC) opens itself up to theater from the country at large and to artists from overseas. Its founders, Crystal Field and Michael Scott-Price, feel this is especially needed now in a time of declining donations to the arts, grants not being awarded due to market conditions, and arts funding cuts on almost every level all across the country and abroad.

Dream Up 2013 maintains the festival's commitment to new works. TNC has consistently been the most inexpensive theater of its caliber and it continues its commitment to affordable tickets with this festival. Dream Up Festival tickets are $12-$15 for the participating productions. The festival's website is www.dreamupfestival.org and www.Facebook.com/julianandromero.
