WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME by Heidi Schreck, directed by Oliver Butler
(a co-production with True Love Productions)
With Heidi Schreck, Danny Wolohan, and Rosdely Ciprian

It's 1989 and Heidi is trying to earn enough money to go to college by giving speeches about the Constitution in American Legion Halls across the country. When she loses the first round to Becky Dobbins because her speech isn't personal enough, she decides to go deep. Starting with her great great grandmother, a mail-order bride who died of "melancholia," she traces the effects of a single sentence of the Ninth Amendment on generations of women in her family - and on the violent men they married.

Coming Soon:

July 10 - 23

YOU GET A SPOON! hosted by Chris Duffy
Schedule: Thursday at 8 PM
Tickets: $10 in advance, $15 at the door

Hosted by Chris Duffy, You Get A Spoon! is a night of NYC's best performers sharing their work and the things they love. After each set, the performer enthusiastically endorses a prize that they love and gives it away to audience members in an Oprah-style giveaway! Previous prizes include candy bars, books, magazine subscriptions, kitchen appliances, CDs, and gaff tape. Every show, one lucky audience member receives a Tovolo mixing spoon, the greatest spoon in the universe.

You Get A Spoon! was an LA Weekly "Pick of the Week", was featured in Seattle's The Stranger, and called one of the "100 Best Things in Comedy" by The Comedy Bureau.

July 29
SEASONED: World Premiere, directed and choreographed by Audrey Rachelle and Alex Jenkins, director of photography, Blake Horn, composer Jon Mackey
With Jon Ole Olstad, Cameron Mckinney, Nicholas Korkos, Alex Jenkins, Audrey Rachelle
Produced by AnA Collaborations (Alex Jenkins and Audrey Rachelle, Artistic Directors)
Schedule: Saturday at 3pm & 8pm
Tickets: $15 in advance, $20 at the door

SEASONED is a hybrid dance film and performance which navigates the spectrum of emotions that arise from human relationships. As one dancer moves through time, people and seasons shift, and viewers catch glimpses of distinct, intimate moments. Feelings of joy, vulnerability, frustration, desperation, chaos, and nostalgia emerge from the four nuanced, highly contrasting yet cohesive duets, allowing the audience to connect with their own experiences of love, loss, and friendship.

All performances are at the wild project (195 E. 3rd Street, between Avenues A & B).
Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.thewildproject.com.

The Box Office opens one hour prior to curtain.
