Photo Flash: HANDBOOK FOR AN AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY Now Playing at The Gym at Judson

Following the sold-out reading and discussion at 92YTribeca, comes the fully staged, Off-Broadway production and world premiere of HANDBOOK FOR AN AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY, which opened this past weekend on July 19th, 2013. Check out a first look at the production below!

Form Theatricals (Anthony Francavilla and Zachary Laks) in association with Judson Arts presents the World-Premiere of HANDBOOK FOR AN AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY- an explosive and hilarious study of America's modern-day Davids and Goliaths- written and performed by Matthew-Lee Erlbach ("Eager to Lose") and directed by Drama Desk nominee Tony Speciale ("Unnatural Acts"). Preview performances began July 19 prior to an official opening of July 22 at The Gym at Judson (243 Thompson Street, @ Washington Square South) in Manhattan.

Inspired by Matthew-Lee Erlbach's travels around the United States, HANDBOOK is a raw, incendiary, and darkly comic play giving voice to a panorama of ordinary citizens in extraordinary circumstances whose battles are reshaping 21st-century America. As he blazes through a powerful spectrum of diverse Americans, Erlbach gives voice to the voiceless from coal power to white power, K Street to Bourbon St, and the prophets and profits of today's America. The twelve dynamic characters in Erlbach's play are the face of America's turbulent present and a hand to its hopeful future-the 99%.

Additional creative and design team for HANDBOOK FOR AN AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY is Nicholas Houfek (lighting designer), Nina Segal (associate producer), David Bruin (dramaturg) and Jerry Marsini and Derek Rippe (graphic designers).

HANDBOOK FOR AN AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY will be performed at The Gym at Judson (243 Thompson Street). Tickets are $30 and can be purchased online at www.HandbookNYC.com.
